Firehole
I’m not sure what it is about water moving over a freestone river bottom that I find so mesmerizing. The fascination well predates my introduction to fly fishing and the opportunity to live in areas where freestoners are the norm. Growing up in country flatter than a pancake and dry as a bone did inspire […]
Yep, today be a hallowed day. It’s the opening day of the season in Yellowstone. Though not at all beyond the realm of reasonable season expectation, today’s weather will be a bit blustery and Yellowstoner reports a little new snow on the ground. This will be the first day in some time that one or […]
Though somewhat ironically born and raised in the near waterless Texas panhandle, I’ve been fascinated with water, particularly moving water in freestone creeks and rivers, for as long as I can remember. From the perspective of beautiful freestone rivers and creeks, living in Bozeman can make one think you’re the proverbial kid in a candy […]
Been working for about 18 months on a series of water images with an interesting faceted look…….should have a gallery of images up soon. This was taken on one of those incredibly clear blue sky sunny days on the Firehole.
It simple seems impossible that this will be our last report on the Firehole for this season. I’ll be damned if it seems like just yesterday we had driven into the Park back in April to say hello to an old friend. There is a lot of water around the region that is fishing […]
With just under a couple of weeks left in the Park’s fishing season, yesterday Jake and I were able to break away from our respective families and work duties to hit the Park with the intent of fishing three different waters. Two were ‘drive-by’ fisheries that attract a lot of attention and to be honest […]
Twenty days of YNP fishing are remaining in this season. Twenty days. I’ll be damned if it doesn’t seem like just yesterday we were gearing up in May and early June for the Firehole’s spring mayfly run. The Firehole is a most interesting river this time of year; despite the chilly air temps the Firehole’s […]
I’m not sure about conditions on Park roads this morning; obviously there’s some snow down in West Yellowstone and on into the Park. It is 27 this morning in West (0730) according to The Weather Underground with snow ‘ankle deep’ according to Yellowstoner. Have another cup of coffee this morning. Have two. Mid to late […]
Wednesday will likely be one of those days Firehole fans been looking for – a long awaited cool, cloudy and rainy day. The Firehole has been quite fishable given the smattering of Baetis coming off and fairly robust White Miller Caddis hatches coming off on the sunny warm days that have graced the neighborhood for […]
