Nice thought, but I doubt it.
Friend and foes in the neighborhood were debating at a gathering yesterday evening whether or not this week’s weather will mark the turn into the genuine fall season; more than one of us present tend to think first of the Firehole when discussion of fall fishing in the neighborhood comes around.
Looking at this week’s weather forecast for West Yellowstone, in my humble opinion it looks too warm and sunny for fall (dang – we’ve had four days of 90+ here in Bozeman), but the next few days do look interesting.
Firehole water temps at the lower gage are still bumping up into the don’t – fish range, but temps above Midway have been much better, with more and more talk about fishable Caddis in the evenings being heard here and there. The water is in even better shape above Old Faithful.
Lots of folks have seen the first of the late season’s BWOs on the right kind of cloudy, cool day – we’ll be seeing more and more over the next few weeks.
Definitely getting closer.
