Dropping flows and clearing water on the Gibbon have improved conditions quite a bit on this oft overlooked water.
The Gibbon isn’t the biggest, the best, the most revered or the most photographed of rivers in the Park; in fact, it’s not even close to any of those labels. It really is oft overlooked as fly anglers rush from the hallowed waters of the west side to the northeast corner – a fact that is fine with us.
There’s some nifty fish and fishing to be done on the Gibbon, and she’s been fishing pretty well below the falls on nymphs and buggers, with baetis on the cloudy days last week.
Golden Stones are a possibility this weekend and into next week, and you just might tease one of the larger holdovers from last fall’s run to the surface with one of these.
We’re still banking on a great fall on the Gibbon after the Madison – Norris road closes this in late August.
