    Runoff ???

    What are your home rivers looking like?


    Looks like that's about it for our sping fun on the freestones in the Greater Yellowstone area! All the waters seem to be on the rise and most around Jackson are starting to run a bit green. Prolly only a handful of days...maybe a week and we'll be seeing full on GOO conditions! Only a few more forecasted nights of freezing temps over the next couple weeks .

    Tailwater time is comin'.

    Be happy you have water, we're boardering on drought. All the rivers I fish are running low and clear, kind of late summer like, spooky fish, see ya coming from 100 yards. It's not suppose to be this technical this early in the season!!!!!

    Hasn't started here yet either... In years past we have had some big swell-ups. I don't know how this year will be because it hasn't warmed up drastically... yet.

    Come hither ye all to jolly ole Juneau, where the snowiest damn season on record is causing the rivers to swell up like drunken pigs. No damn fish yet, but I guess water is cool to throw bits of deer and rabbit hair at.

    Sorry to hear that Jay.
    I am happy we have water. Very low snowpack this year though. We got lucky in that most of the regional reservoirs are starting the season out higher than normal. We still need a bunch of moisture!!!! Hopefully the Northern Rockies will see a slow/up and down runoff season to keep the water we do have cold into the summer.

    maddy is still supposed to be fishable, but i opted to rope the fatty cuts up in hyalite res yesterday instead.

    ice is mostly off the south end of the lake and the cuts and graylings are stacking up in the creek.

    The three forks of the flathead are running green with glacial silt and are definitely on the move w/ shit tons of runoff.

    Haven't talked with anyone up there in a while. I will be over on 2 of the lower Henry's fork stretches this weekend. I expect it to be a little high and and green. I'll update on Monday.

    Checked out the lakes visable from the road in Grand teton NP yesterday. All were mostly free of ice!

    Rivers are total shit here still, but the ponds are A+
    The only thing worse than the feeling that you are going to die is the realization that you probably won't.
