Mayfly Madness

Smoky Sunset timed perfectly

Here in the Wind River valley the mayflies along with many other bugs have started to emerge and take flight. There is no other fish food like the mayfly, light on their wings heavy in their beauty.

Unmatched Beauty

Living here is Dubois, WY you can't help but appreciate the beauty that you are surrounded by. Here are just a few pictures of the local area. Pretty wild country, watch for bears.

Brook's Lake, there was a grizzly sow and two cubs at the head of this lake that day. Needless to say we didn't end up hiking around the lake.

It's Summertime and the Livin' is Easy

 Well things are about to be in full swing for these parts, the Wind River Valley is clearing nicely and heaps of bugs are popping. Fishing reports are good for many other areas of the state as well and I look forward to the next couple of weeks of fishing.  This past week I've been fortunate enough to run several trips that really went well and that were extremely successful.

I finally got settled back into Northwestern WY, I have been busy. But things are good and the rivers are clearing more and more daily. I feel that shortly things are going to be full on and fishing is going to be red hot. I've noticed a few salmon flies have been hatching but the fish aren't eating the adults, not sure if they will this year. But the subsurface bite is still on and fish are actively eating well presented nymphs. When the weather has cooperated I've been getting out and fishing some of the waters and looking at water condition, we are obviously way ahead of last years schedule and soon to be enjoying summer fishing.
