May.... um June.

Howdy friends!

Where did May go?  I'm still here I guess.  Lots of running and not much fishing for me.  Been busy getting the park opened.  However, I did make it out on the Gardner a week ago yesterday and caught four.  Sorry no fish pics.  :(  I think my father-in-law enjoyed himself though.  The weather was sunny and not too many bugs around and I didn't really get any pattern going.  Caught one on a dropper.  Another on a foam bug and a few others on a streamer.  It cleared up significantly in the last 24 hours and I wish I could have gotten out this evening...  Perhaps tomorrow.   Here's a shot of sheep mountain though and a wild iris not too far from the Boiling River.




A word of caution to you if you are headed out on the Gardner anytime soon.  Be sure to take your bear spray.  Monday morning, June 4th, at about 6:45 am a huge male grizzly was seen near the confluence of the Gardner and the Yellowstone.  I just missed it on my way to work but got to see a video someone took.  Lots of elk calves in the area right now.  In fact I had one out in front of the house last night.  Anyways... Prime grizzly territory so keep your eyes peeled down there.

Hope to see you below the green boxes.
