July Days on Spring Creeks

Long days of endless fishing and PMD hatches continue to July on Livingston's spring creeks. My annual repeating clients came back.
We kicked off at DePuy's Spring Creek.

Lots of cutthroat are in the creek.

In July, insects other than PMD start hatching and trout do take them. 

 Now anglers start to struggle more and more😏

 Evening spinner actions!

A bright Cut-bow!

 We then fished Armstrong's Spring Creek. PMD hatch was still going strong👌

Little animal was wondering what human beings are doing🦌

In the heat of afternoon of July, terrestrial dry-flies such as small hoppers, ants, and beetles become more important and enjoyable. When that doesn't entice trout - perhaps they can be stuffed from morning PMD feeding -, there's always a way to get their attention = nonchalant snack in human sense🍦🍫😏🠊Midge larvae. Sounds too general? Never underestimate the effectiveness of midge larvae on spring creeks and how technical it can be😬After one may hook trout, one has to keep them tight on such a small hook.
At one particular spot of the creek, we had a succession of lightning experience✨✨

 It's clearly a different fish, different feature and even larger😆

In the evening, while we were anticipating PMD spinner falls, there were more insect activities😎

These guys were literally hatching as they were all over on the water. 

Then PMD spinner falls started

 And it lasted a while😃

As always it has been intense and challenging fishing on spring creeks😎and then it's always rewarding as it has been another learning and observing opportunity for me😃

I'll keep guiding spring creeks through summer. And from now on I start to float Yellowstone River and more frequently visit Yellowstone Park waters.

Maybe see you somewhere👋
