Rototilling

I spent the past couple of days guiding two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Tim and Katie Stoner come up from Colorado to fish with me every year, and we usually have great fishing. This week was no exception. We floated the Green River the first day and had a blast. The morning saw countless smaller fish on drake patterns, while some larger fish made it to the net in the afternoon on large stonelfy dries and nymph droppers. Tim landed five that were 17" or better between 2 and 4 o'clock. The Green is in great shape right now...don't miss out. We tried the Snake today and did the Dam to Pacific run, which is still fishing very well. Situated above the silty Buffalo Fork, the water is gin clear and the fishing is great. The Snake is not generally known for having thick insect hatches, but just below Jackson Lake Dam is a different story. Caddis flies in the morning, followed by a very thick yellow sally hatch in the afternoon kept the fishing red hot on dry flies. The fishing is improving daily below Pacific Creek, with smaller fish starting to look up. My guiding buddy and friend Bart Taylor taught me a term a couple of years back called "Rototilling". (He's kind of a comedian). After asking him how fishing had been one day, he replied: "Hell...We rototilled fish all day." The image in my head immediately turned to a machine pulling fish up left and right. This is how fishing was today for Tim; he rototilled them from the Dam all the way to Pacific Creek...lots of fun! Here's Tim with a great Green River Brown. I've got a great new link on my list...check out Focus Productions. www.focusproductions.com .
