Salmon Fly Invasion

Howdy Friends!

Happy belated Fourth!  Fourth of July in Yellowstone country means salmon flies.  This year's hatch could very well be the biggest I've seen in the past decade.  Vast swarms have been coming off the river here in town almost every evening for the past week.  Fishing has been great but not too many big fish.  Most are running around 10 inches or so.  Did catch a few nice ones however on Tuesday night with Lee.  We are currently seeing salmon flies, golden stones, yellow sallies, about 3 different kinds of caddis, and a crane fly.  Mosquitoes aren't too bad yet and wet legging was enjoyable with above average temps we are seeing.  The river is dropping like a rock and I'm hoping too get out as much as possible while we have the water.  Here's some pics and a video from the past week.  Hope to see you below the green boxes.
