We went back to the Firehole today. I worked my way down from the old iron bridge towards muleshoe bend. Right after the first big bend there is an island that splits the river. I saw fish rising, but the hatch was sporadic. I managed to land the above pictured brown, in addition to a 14 inch bow. I ended up catching 15 or so fish. The brown shown above was my best fish of the day. Once I got to muleshoe it was crowded, but I caught a number of rising fish before working my way back up stream. I was amazed at the geiser shooting water right in front of some fishermen tossing dry flies in the mist. I also saw a raven and osprey fighting over a fish in a mid-air battle that continued back and forth through the bend for at least five minutes - remarkable.
