The state of affairs on the Gibbon hasn’t changed a great deal from last week’s report.
The warm weather has more or less made the river below Norris off limits for fly fishermen at this point in time, with abundant brookies and other feisty river residents available and interested above Norris. (Though a very early morning venture the to the meadows does sound interesting….)
Stalking little brookies in 3 weight sized streams, cricks, and brooks is fine with me. Funny, after an day doing just that I feel like much more of a fly fisherman than after negotiating the flotilla of drifters and rafts on the upper Madison and boating 20 inchers….to each their own, huh?
The countdown to the closure of the Canyon is now nearing three weeks – expect to read and hear a bit more moaning and gnashing of teeth as the closure date nears.
