Yellowstone NP is our destination today and we are going to fish the ”fire hole”. hopefully there will be rising fish. It should be cooler at the higher elevation. Alas, no fish rising so we move further upstream. I set my small backpack down on the grass and try nymphing a side channel. Whrn we decide to leave, my bag is no where to be found . Ray is franctic; I think we shoild find cell service so I can use find my friends to locate it. We drive a bit up the toad, asking people along the way. Ray recognizes one large family and the girl looks so relieved to have found its owner. My fault for leaving it there but did she really need to pick it up?Anyway it ended well.
Afternoon and we are back, preparing for our last evening fishing. To my disappointment, there is someone in our spot and they are pulling in fish one after another. I don’t have much luck and go in search of Ray who puts me in a good spot..I land 3, hook 2. One of the fish landed is an 8” brown trout. They are coming for parigons, 2 nymphs.
