So, we went to cool off in the Gallatin last night. There was a good mix of bugs flying around. We caught some fish, but I got the impression that they'd seen a few flylines recently.
Most of the fish were small. Andrew reported catching a 15 incher with a comment like, "yeh, I almost got your attention for a photo...he was prolly this big [holds up hands to 10"]".
I tried several different caddis and attractor patterns. I'm sure any mid-sized dry would have worked. This tan x-caddis seemed to work the best:
Greg tried a few patterns also, before settling on a parachute adams. Andrew didn't have his fly box, so he stuck with the tan elk hair caddis that he stole from me at the truck. It worked fine.
There were a lot of big stonefly shucks laying around.
