    OH SO . . . . .

    HOT !
    Hot, Hotter, Hottest
    creepy crawler time

    ------- 
    .. So we hit 90° F a couple of times. There's a few more coming down the 'pike. This is a signal for the neighbors to head to the grass.
    .. The grass harbors ants, beetles, 'hoppers, spiders and such. The poor things fall in the water and get swept into the maw of trout.
    .. Most of the neighbors are catching with gay abandon on the Gallatin River in Yellowstone National Park. They drove us up there for a sweltering mid day jaunt and the damn trouts were frenzied in the hot sun. We all danced and whooped! The sweat did pour.
    JUST AN ANT
    .. There were some interesting license plates on the giant and shiny SUVs. There were waders aplenty, (silly boys.) How sticky are waders in this heat? Oh well!
    .. Right on time MAKFLIES has delivered a top water delight for our catching pleasure. One of our creative neighbors already has a half dozen of the little jewels. No sharing right now!
    .. We were stuck with more pedestrian flies = the trout were willing to dance with us as well. The heat drove us home after a few hours of exhausting dancing. Not quite a fish per cast but, in that neighborhood. We recommend visiting the loops and riffles near any parking spot that you can find.
