Fishing Locations

 The recent snow has made it tough to fish from Hebgen down to Lyons Bridge. The accesses are snowed in enough that you will need skis or snowshoes to get to some spots. The parking spots below Hebgen are snowed in for now and need to get plowed out. A good 4x4 could park at the top of Rescue Hill. Fish with midge nymphs, soft hackles and mayfly nymphs. A few people are getting out their streamer rods and getting some eats. The mid-afternoon has been best for streamer fishing. The lower you fish towards Ennis the fishing has been tougher. The weather has been slushing things up, the Canadian cold doesn't help our fishing.
