Wounded Warriors and Opening Day on Firehole River
Two days ago, Friday the 27th, Coaches Jeff Fisher (retired Tenn Titans head coach) and his son Brandon (Detroit Lions secondary) and I spent the day with the Wounded Warrior Program on Spring Creek in the Madison Valley. It is such an awesome program, and an honor to work with our war heros. The photo attached at the end of this report show our friend Doug fighting a large brown trout that day. Doug remarked at the end of the day, "this has been one of the top 3 days in my life". Doug commanded a unit which has lost over 30 of its members during his tenure to the war. He suffers post traumatic stress syndrome and, according to him, his day on the creek was such a relief from his worries. Several times he remarked how great it was to be in the mountains, experience the Madison Valley and wild trout, and spend time learning to fish and be with new friends. At the end of the day tears came to his eyes, and those of all of us as we headed home. I look forward to working again with this program a couple more times this summer.
Yesterday, May 28th, was opening day of Yellowstone National Park's general fishing program. Cool-wet weather prevailed. Snow melt was stalled by the cool overnight temps and the river ran fairly clear. Pale Morning Dun and Baetis mayflies emerged from 1 to 4pm and the fish rose to them. Those anglers that braved the cold had a great opening day. As I type this on Sunday, May 29th, the snow is falling an inch an hour and I will bet the mayflies come off and the fish will rise again this afternoon during their emergence. Sparkle Duns, soft hackles and emerging patterns all worked well yesterday and should continue to provide good success as temps remain cool. We have plenty of snow to melt still in the mountains and once it warms the rivers will come into runoff again but as long as they stay clear the mayflies will hatch and the trout will rise and we will fish! Stay tuned here.
ps. the Madison below Quake Lake is fishing well now too with large rubber leg stone nymphs and streamers. Hebgen Lakes midges are ready to rolll should be get a couple warm afternoons and evenings later this week.

Thanks for taking the time to share some fishing with our warriors. They all deserve the very best for what they do for us! How nice it would be if many of the worlds problems could be solved by fly fishing…..

Goldfish are susceptible to disease and once infected can have a greatly shortened life span. The most common reasons goldfish get sick are if the fish tank is dirty, due to poor filtration, the water and oxygen levels are too low, the temperatures are either too warm or too cold and being improperly fed. Prevention and early detection is the key to help ensure healthy goldfish.beaded jewellery
