East Rosebud Creek, July 19, 2008. Air temp 80 degrees. The eBud is finally fishable, although flows are still way up, and wading is very difficult. Water is cold and clear, and bugs coming off everywhere, although no hoppers yet. I did see PMDs, Baetis, and Callibaetis. The number of large Callibaetis was surprising, as where I fish is about seven miles down from the lake. Mosquiotes were also out in full force, and in the time since I've owned the cabin, I'd not seen a skeeter until now. I suppose the great deal of moisture this year really brought them on. I only hope it doesn't hurt the hopper population. Fishing was good when I could find some water worth casting to. It was extremely tough to find water that wasn't ripping, but any spot that looked like a likely spot for trout to rest held fish. I started with a large tan Stimulator, but after seeing a few fish rise, look and refuse, I switched to a black Chernobyl and they were all over that. The first couple of fish were nice 13" browns. I also picked up two nice rainbows in a bit fast water. The browns were dead up against the bank. Another week, maybe two, will open up a lot more water, and I plan on being back there on Aug 2nd.
