Nice. I am jealous.
And what were they eating? And the fly too please?
Deanna -
See the entry in Fishing Reports for the Big Lost for yesterday. The rise forms indicate emergers. Not sure what Buzz caught that beauty on, but he did catch several on a foam head midge emerger. Where I was downstream a way when he took the picture, there was a mixed hatch of midges and blue wing olives. I was sight fishing to about a dozen bows at the head of a run that were taking a mixed bag of nymphs, larva, pupa and emergers.

I'm just amazed that you stopped fishing to take pictures. but I'm sure glad you did.
Fished upstream from this spot today to avoid the crowd - a nice old fellow from Jackson WY who beat me to the parking area by about two minutes and who was headed downstream, and a younger fellow who was working his way up to this point from below.
But I had a bunch of water to work with the same hatch - mixed midge and bwo - that we had Monday.
I tied on the most elegant fly in my box. It was designed for the midge activity on this river. Today it took about 17 of the 27 or so rainbows I hooked, regardless if the major player in the hatch at any point in time was a bwo or a midge.
The bows were bigger in the section I fished today. Only a couple under 14" and six or seven over 17". The biggest, about 20", took the elegant fly.
It is the t.c.t.k. ( fly of the week third quarter '07 ).
This fly outfishes anything in my fly box on the Big Lost. And does very well elsewhere, also. Its a "less is more" kind of thing.
