The Yellowstone River is still moving way too fast and, while the water level is below flood stage, it’s still quite high, all of which means: Fishing is not good … yet. We’ve been in Rock Canyon RV Park on the river for one week already, and we’ve seen the water level drop close to a foot. The people who know these things estimate fishing on the Yellowstone will be good in a week or so. We can wait.
Jimmy fly fishing on Trail Creek.
On Thursday, we went with friends, Donna and Danny, to fish on Trail Creek (somewhere between Bozeman and Livingston – what a gorgeous drive). Because of melting snow from a heavy winter snowpack and a very wet spring, all the rivers and creeks are swift and full. Doesn’t mean we can’t give it a try – and we caught several small trout, which we thoroughly enjoyed for dinner! Trout on the grill - delicious!
Fishing may not be great yet, but as you can see by the photo above, the scenery more than compensates for it. We had a wonderful day. And just think, we have three more weeks here – lucky us!
Lupine, wild Rose, Sticky geranium, and buttercups add splashes of color.
Yes, I caught it.
Yes, was small, but it WAS tasty!
