After the spell of staggering heat that hung with us in late June and early July, our weather turned. And while it seemed likely the heat would quickly return, it hasn’t. For the last 12 days its been the summer we hope for…70s and low 80s, some clouds, some rain, cool nights. Water temps that were creeping towards the mid 70s are now 10 degrees cooler in many places. Looking out 10 days ahead, the forecast continues to be good. We’ll keep our fingers crossed. For now anyway, the fish and those in hot pursuit are loving life. It’s been a good week on the Yellowstone and the first attempt on the carp flats treated us nicely as well…was cloudy that day so we were forced to catch those bugle mouths with dry flies…can’t get much more entertaining than that!
