Today was great--spent over 8 hours learning how to fly fish in Yellowstone National Park. This area is one of the most popular for flyfishing and the park is loaded with fantastic rivers to fish. Our guide took us to Firehole River today--it's an early season river with a variety of "holes" worth fishing.
We spent the first couple hours learning a number of casting techniques before we hit the river. Both of us landed 3 trout apiece--3 rainbow trout for me and 3 brown trout for her. This is catch and release inside the park.
I used a dry fly most of the day and had the opportunity to practice casting into slow moving deep currents as well as heavy shallow currents. We learned how to work an area of the river, use the water, land and air around us to determine current hatches and insect activity, and in which parts of a river the fish are best found.
