The Yellowstone continues to fish well up high with both salmonfly dries and nymphs.  Yesterday Carbella to Point of rocks fished good, not great.  It definitely seemed like the fish (and bugs) were spotty and while we didn’t catch a ton of fish (we averaged about 10 per float) we did have quite a few doubles.  If we had another 6-8 inches of visibility the dry fly fishing could have lights-out, but as is you’ll likely want to add a rubberleg or beadhead dropper.  Quite a few folks have also been been doing well dead drifting a sparkle minnows, Bow River Bugger, black leadeye.  We saw big bugs as high as Brogan’s Landing yesterday, although several are likely already in Gardiner or in the park by now…
