Wading the Green




Rachael, Charlotte and I headed down to the Green River yesterday for an afternoon of wade fishing. Charlotte is very content in the backpack when I am casting so it's a great way to spend the afternoon with the family, particularly since we chose a spot with very mellow water. The weather has practically turned to summer over the past few days. The highs were in the high 70's on Saturday, with the 80's arriving by Sunday afternoon, into today. Needless to say, all of the area rivers have come up even more, including the green. The water got pretty murky on us yesterday, and the fishing was tough. As of today, the Green has nearly doubled in size since Saturday, to almost 1,000 cfs. It was a great day to be out, regardless. The Henry's Fork is probably the best option right now, until the South Fork water temps warm up a bit. Yellowstone opens to fishing on Saturday...the Firehole should be in great shape! See ya there!
