I would fish every skinny water you cross.

Thank you. We have a tough time passing any "skinny water" but know too, that it's easy to spend too much time in non-productive water when better fisheries are just around the corner. This is the first long vacation we've taken and we're really looking forward to it. About 80% of the trip or more will be fly fishing. We're taking our float tubes just in case but prefer wading and fishing if we can.I would fish every skinny water you cross.

I've not fished the Madison before. Any suggestions as to where, specifically, we should fish?Late June the Yellowstone and most of its tribs will still be blown. But you will have salmon flies on the Madison and I'd at least plan a day there.
I fished the Green a number of years ago below the Flaming Gorge dam and did well. I remember that everyone launched their drift boats at the same place and time...and the take out was the same. Fishing was great. There were Cicadas everywhere The name of the game was to slap an imitation on the water near the bank...and big cooperated more often than not. Great day of fishing although no doubt I happened to be there at the right time.You should fish the Green. Mems
Thank you...I'll check it out. Would we need a boat to fish North Lake? All we're bringing this trip are waders and float tubes. No pontoon boats or drift boat.Sounds like North Lake in Federal Way is a real gem.
I'll contact that fly shop and see what I can get in the way of info. ThanksTelluride Outside is the fly shop in town and should have some decent info for you. I only did winters down there so don't have a good feel on what happens with runoff. I think the Gunnison is dam controlled and sounds like a neat place to fish.

Thanks. When I fished that area, I was focused on other boats and can't, after all this time, recall fly fishers wading...but I'm sure they did as there is a trail you can walk along the river, if I recall correctly. As to float tubes, I have a nice one that I'll bring. I could scout out the water the first day and then float tube it if it looks okay. I recall many float tubers going down the Green River below the dam. They would walk around the bad areas and/or take a different line than the drift boats through some areas. But, I'd want to know the water and scout it out ahead of time.I've fished the Green on the A section below the dam and have only ever waded. It was a little challenging, but lot's of fish can still be had there on foot. There were also a ton of float tube setups I saw that day that seemed to be working so that could be an option for you
Hmmm...never thought about renting a drift boat. I have my own and can handle one. It's just that we can't take it with us this trip because of the camp trailer. I'll check into it.You can also rent a raft or db at Trout Creek Flies at the Green.
