Fishing Locations

 The rains that came through the area the last two days spiked the Lamar 200 cfs in less than a day. There's been no word about any mud coming out of the Park. We've been keeping an eye on the river cam and haven't spotted ant color change yet. We may have got lucky this time. One thing to remember though, when the flow is between 4000 and 5000cfs the wave trains get some very big waves. Hopper season is in full swing. Almost and hopper pattern in pink is getting fish. The fish are sucking into their mouths from just under the surface. When they are doing this type of eat you need to add another second before setting the hook or they won't have the fly in their mouth. You can run some double dry rigs but putting a 3 to 4 foot dropper underneath has been very affective. If you are on the river in the evening there is a good caddis feed happening after dinner.
