No doubt about it, summer is gone, fall is here. Not quite sure when actual first day of fall might be according to the calendar but a high of 44 yesterday with wind and snow seems to hint that it may be time to get the long johns out. Sure, it is predicted to be in the 70s this week but it will be different out there on the river from here on out.
Longer nights make for cooler mornings and the angle of the sun will make for less intense light and better fishing overall. There are hatches now. Mayflies, midges, caddis.
Have had some phenomenonal dry fly days on the Yellowstone as of late and the past two days on the Missouri were nothing short of spectacular. With all of our local rivers fishing well at the moment one of the hardest decisions if the day is choosing which direction to head. Good problem to have!
