With the arrival of mid-June, a couple of more fishing options have opened up for us around here. The Henry's Fork Ranch, as well as Yellowstone Lake opened to fishing for the season yesterday. June 15th is always a welcome date in this region, particularly in years like this where most fisheries are high and muddy. The "Ranch" opener is a big deal with Henry's Fork aficionados; the first day on this hallowed piece of water offers anglers a better chance to stalk large, educated Henry's Fork Rainbow Trout and actually have a decent chance of sticking one.
Not much else to report around here. The Snake and its tributaries, as well as the Green River drainage are high and muddy. The South Fork has been lowered to a reasonable 15,000 cfs. This is great news...as it starts to make its transition from brown to green, it will start to fish.
The birdwatching in the area is fantastic right now. Here's a couple of shots of a beautiful Western Tanager that has been visiting our yard. More soon!
