Lost me on that one Mike.

Around this part of the state (west) the salmon flies are generally
out most of June- Fathers day on Rock Creek is pretty good. IIRC we
saw lots of Salmon Flies on the Madison around the camp ground just
after the 4th of July. The bad side of all this is spring runoff can
make for tough fishing conditions.

The last couple of years we've been into hoot-owl fishing by early
August (rivers closed from 12:00 noon to 10:00 pm or something like
that)

I didn't get out much last year- started shooting skeet and was off to
one tournament or another most of the year.

Since the boys are a bit young for back country adventures (6, 9), we'll be
contributing to the Yellowstone automobile tourism and traffic.

Looking for stuff outside the park too, like a trip over to Cody, or maybe a
stay up to Cooke City, but I'm sure we'll participate in a wildlife viewing
cluster or two.

Not totally adverse to an early morning/late day fishing, especially since
that may be the only regular fishing I get in anyway, but would rather have
options to fish along the way. So much to see, it being the first time up
for the rest of the clan, we'll be all over the place.

Will take them to that spot on Slough that Jeff and I happened upon last
year. Fishing was easy, and the scenery was to die for. Probably will take
them to the Gibbon also. Any other suggestions for fishing with the boys?

We were out there this last year and Sheepeater creek was pretty good
for Brook Trout (nothing more than a foot long or so though). If you
hike down past the first set of waterfalls it was very quiet and had
both nice riffles and a meadow section. It's not more than a 1/2 mile
hike so easy for the kids.
