Reports from Madison River Outfitters:
Hebgen Lake: 7/25/07 Gulper fishing on Hebgen is still very good. Callibaetis hatches have been heavy and good numbers of fish are feeding on these mayflies. Carefully leading rising fish with spinner patterns has been the best way to fool them with dries. Bobbing Hare’s Ears, Flashback Pheasant Tails and Turkey Callibaetis nymphs under an indicator has been a fine way to get a mess of hookups as fish are really keying in to emerging Callibaetis nymphs. Make sure to keep both eyes on the bobber or dry.
Quake Lake: 7/25/07 Quake is having its fair share of Gulper fishing. Callibaetis hatches have not been as thick as those on Hebgen, but there have been a fair number of ants on the water as well. The combination of these flies has made for a fishable dry fly bite most mornings until the wind puts an end to the show. Hopper fishing can be good in the afternoons with a little breeze and the streamer bite hasn’t been too shabby late in the evening.
