Some Fall Color
After a short summer I'm not truly ready to embrace fall, but seeing fish like this one makes it a bit easier. This magnificent rainbow—already in spawning colors—was taken a few days ago in the Madison by my brother, Tom.

Soft hackle or nymph? So, there is a strain of fall spawning rainbows in Hebgen and the Madison? I assume there are spring spawners as well? Great photo!

Small nymph, Bill. The rainbows run in both the spring and fall, but as far as we know do all their spawning in the spring. An odd situation, possibly attributable to the different strains of rainbow planted in Hebgen over the years, and perhaps the thermal regime of the Madison.
