July is over!!
Mother nature has a glorious way of making us adapt doesn't she.
What a whirl wind of adventure and high water we had down around these parts. With the Elk and weather being unpredictable for most of the month we found ourselves looking elsewhere for awesomeness.
We found awesome hiding down dusty prairie roads, we found awesome at the bottom of impossibly muddy tracks, and we also found it in late night revelry.
One of the best parts of working in our area is that there is more fish-able water here than you could explore in a lifetime.
Exploring is exactly what we have been doing, we fished the Elk when we thought that conditions were prime, and when they weren't we went adventuring.
I found myself revisiting many of my old AB haunts, chasing Browns and Rainbows with my friends and man did we have a good time!
So what of the Elk and our areas tributaries?
Well the Elk has finally come into her own, there are a plethora of bugs ripping off the water and our hungry little Cutts are looking up eager for a meal. We are still battling higher than normal flows and cooler morning water temps, so act accordingly. All in all I think that we are going to have some serious "Hero" fishing this month.
The tribs are experiencing the same high and cool temps, but water levels are dropping rapidly. I have found the fishing to good all around. A cautionary note to all you small creek stalkers, as the month progress's please keep an eye on water levels and temps. As the water drops the fish will begin to congregate in the same pools and competition and stress will increase. Ask yourself, "Just because I can, does it mean I should?".
