Here in Charlotte, we are having a rainy, cool day and the cold is permeating my bones, I do not feel inclined to go anywhere, so I have some thoughts about fishing courtesy as it relates to space afforded to other anglers. When we are approaching a stream about to start trout fishing here are some things to consider.
Go with John Foster on his trip to the Upper Madison River about one mile from Ennis Lake and not far from the Yellowstone National Park. Watch as John skillfully plays and lands a huge brown. Also, be sure to watch the video in its entirety so you can get a close up view of that beauty. Click here for more information about the Madison River including a map.
You meet a lot of friends on Facebook and I believe that is where I met John foster and his son John Clay Foster. They fish the great Montana Rivers all year long. I have included a video of theirs about the Gallatin River shot from a head camera as they float fish. They have many more videos and I may just post them from time to time.
The big browns are in prespawn mode on the South Holston River, feeding heavily during small windows throughout the day. While good numbers of fish can be caught almost anywhere on the South Holston, River, our biggest fish are being caught on low water floats in the middle or lower sections of the SoHo.
Fabulous dry fly fishing is starting around 3 PMeveryday. Sulfurs, craneflies, blue duns, blue winged olives, and midges are coming off in hordes and the fish are readily rising. It is perhaps the best dry fly activity we have seen all year.
We went up to one of our favorite spots last Saturday for some trout fishing. Out of respect to Dan, I don't disclose the location of this particular watershed.
In the fall, the tourist activity slows down considerably including the onlookers, and those in water crafts as well as the tubers. This presents an opportunity to fish from popular sight seeing pullovers along the road or in otherwise populated tourist destinations. Also, the football season will lure away some of the less dedicated fly fishermen, no offence intended.
The Missouri River is the longest river in the USA draining over one sixth of the nation's area. It starts with the confluence of the Jefferson, the Madison and the Gallatin Rivers at Three Forks, Montana. It is also a tributary of the Mississippi River contributing about 45% of the Mississippi's water. The claim is that the Missouri River contains 4,000 trout (wild trout that is) per mile. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set off on an expedition up the Missouri from Wood River, Ill. on May 14, 1804.
The South Holston River, or SoHo as it is called, is living up to its reputation again this summer! The Sulphur Hatches this summer on the South Holston River have been nothing short of spectacular. These little yellow sailboats have almost covered the water on many days this year.
