Fishing Report: 

Don't be surprised if the hopper bite over here slows down for a day or two until it warms back up again - it's 56 degrees at almost noon over here today - not exactly what you call an epic setting for hopper fishing. But don't be fooled, good dry fly fishing is far from over, it's not October yet, it's only the end of August and beginning of September. Look for the terrestrials to be around for another few weeks unless it keeps snowing! River is awfully boney up high, you can still get some rubber down it down lower, just don't put in above the Rosebud. Clarity wise it's in good shape even with the rains, so have at it!
