Hint Of Fall?

Like clockwork, the Dog Days of Summer are slowly but surely turning into early Fall around Western Wyoming. Although daytime temps are still in the 80's, we are now seeing hints of low temps in the 30's in Teton Park at night, which is prompting native Cutthroat to think about putting on their "winter wool". This is typically the time of year when we start seeing much larger fish up on dry flies, and the resurgence of regular insect hatches on the Snake. Fish are already starting to key in on smaller flies (like size 16 Parachute Adams), which are being taken for Mahoganies and Hecubas. Fall is truly an amazing time to be on the Snake, not only for the excellent fly-fishing potential, but also the the amazing scenery and weather. Hope to see you out there this Fall! Enjoy some photos here of my good buddies Brian Hodges and John Holland. They've just returned from Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, an area over 100,000 square miles full of large Rainbow Trout that are known to subsist on mice. Nice work guys! Do you think they had any fun??
