North Tongue Update
August 23, 2011
The NFT is fishing ridiculously good. Hopper action was epic the past couple of days. A good friend of mine caught 75 fish on Monday. He was only outdone by me on Sunday by a few dozen more. There is some drake action still, but it was minimal the past couple of days. There are good tan caddis and yellow PMD hatches that are producing better than the Drakes. The grass hoppers and beetles are the hot flies for now. The average fish is still 13 – 15 inches with some bigger fish mixed in for variety.
Come fish the Bighorn Mountains for a few more weeks this year. There is an abundance of fishing available all over the Mountain. Believe it or not, fall fishing is just a couple weeks away. September fishing should be some of the best you may see in a long time. Even with the long run off and a short one month of great fishing so far this summer has to be remembered as a great summer for bigger heaver fish. Don’t let the last week of August and all of September 2011 slip by with out you getting out to enjoy the fun.
Have fun and be safe. Hunting season is here in two weeks. Rifle season starts in less than 6 weeks. That’s when I go have my fun.
