Fly fisher folk who love Yellowstone’s Firehole River have been blessed with a bit of an extended spring / early summer season this year.
It seems just as summer had rolled in and set up shop to stay, the area has enjoyed a burst of cooler weather. We had begun to rehearse our line that the Firehole [...]
