Fishing Locations

 The last couple day have had some big, booming storms come through and drop a lot of heavy rain. The Lamar jumped 200 cfs in less than a day. There hasn't been any reports yet of a mud plug. If it did get dirty it will improve over the next couple days since the weather is going to dry out. The best fishing may be on Soda Butte Creek. In the morning before the sun gets to high in the sky they are looking for small hopper patterns. In the afternoon when the sun is straight up it's time to switch into small streamers. Try a small black Zonker in the deeper green pools. Above the Upper Falls the water is gin clear. The Salmon flies are finishing up and a few fish are still looking for them. This is another area that the Green Drakes have hatched. These got the most action over the weekend. The Gibbon, Madison and Firehole have got too warm to really have any good success unless you are fishing at dawn.
