Current Conditions:
The larger lakes like Hebgen, Quake and Ennis are producing some nice gulper action with the tricos and callibaetis ealry in the morning and late in the evening. On Quake and Hebgen some spruce moths can also bring large trout to the surface. August is the peak time to gulper fish over thick hatches.
The Month Ahead:
There is an early brood of callibaetis that can often bring some trout to the surface.
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
Lakes are always an interesting option in the summer. Sometimes we forget about the stillwaters in mid summer when the rivers are all fishing so well but they offer a nice change up and the shot at sight casting to trophy trout can be addictive!
