montana/wyoming - july 07

gibbon in yellowstone ... elk herd in background while we fished.
caught few. danl hooked and lost a large fish on one of his personally
designed streamers. saw a few big fish, but the gibbon is tough going in
the heat of july. because of warm water concerns, there was a voluntary
no-fishing policy in effect in the park on most streams between noon and
6 pm. water temps were around 65-68 when we were there.

Nice shots, Jeff. Looks like you weren't too impacted by the heat and the dry.
Hope there's still some water left when I'm there in September.

thanks charlie. the fishing was good. it was hot during the day, but
nothing like we experienced at rock creek several years ago. the peaks
lacked the snow/ice we usually see. the madison was normal because of
the dam releases at hebgen, though i was told the release was recent and
the river was low before that.

i trust you know chas was (is still) planning a gathering in the park in
september to hike in to some lakes or to fish the lamar valley area.

I know he was, but wasn't sure if he still is.
