Ended up getting Friday off (Juneteenth). Seemed like a good day to go fishing. Most rivers are still muddy from runoff this time of year, so decided to fish the Bighorn. This is a good early season river since it gets steady flow from the Yellowtail dam. Usually, you can catch the occasional Brown or Rainbow on a fly outside the main flow.
This trip ended up being mostly pulling algae off the hook. I floated a PMD over a few browns I saw but they weren’t interested. I chatted with a few others on the trail to the parking lot. It sounds like everyone wading was getting skunked. Next time I’ll bring the raft out so I can float the main channel.
Even though I was catching algae, it was still more exciting than a day at work.
