May 16, Ruby River

With river levels finally on the rise in the Bozeman area, Sarah and I headed west to the Ruby and fish water that hasn't yet felt the effects of run off. The water below the dam was in great shape with that typical Ruby River haze and levels at 255 cfs. We stepped in at about noon and found caddis in the air in big numbers, but didn't see any fish feeding on top until we left at about 5:00 or so. We started with nymphs and caught fish, switched to streamers and caught fish, and at the end of the day threw drys and caught fish. Good stuff!
