The fish are running

We decided to start doing some fishing. After going to angler store at the park entrance and buying our licenses, we decided to go down to the Snake River below the dam and do some fishing. Tim was able to bring in 4-5 lake trout that were all about 15 inches plus. My fly rod did not work well there because of the wind but we used spinnning rods. Today, I was skunked.... ok, I did have one on the hook but lost him right at the shore.

We fish right below the dam and watch a bald eagle and osprey soar over us. The pelican likes to float down the river waiting for fish, and the uinta (ground squirrel) in the family of the prairie dog playing on the rocks near us. The fish bite most of the day but it does vary with how much water is coming out of the dam. There is alot of water in the lake right now and they are letting about 8000 gallons out a day (normal is 2000). The fishing in Wyoming is wonderful!!!!!! Will try Yellowstone again next week.
