We spent the morning fishing the Firehole River. I finally caught a fish, though small, it felt like an accomplishment on our last day on the river. At the picnic area, I was surprised to see a mama bear and her two cubs.
By noon, dark clouds swept in with a downpour and hail that made even the bison seek shelter in the woods. The rains put down the fish and we drove north to Mammoth Hot Springs for a quick visit.
The gusty winds and rain died down by evening and we tried fishing the Madison River, hoping that conditions had improved.
I was able to catch 3 fish in one hour!
