Yellowstone Sept 20, 1974 Drove to the mouth of the Lamar, crossed it and set up camp on the Yellowstone about a mile below the junction. Water was low enough that I fished the Lamar in hip boots. I started fishing the heavy water where it comes over the bank below the junction and only caught one 10" rainbow. Woody went downstream to slower water below the bend and got into some fine action from cutthroat up to 16". He called me down and I caught a couple before lunch. After lunch and a nap we failed to get much action where it had been liveliest in the morning. We moved up to the Lamar and had a fine time in the lower two pools/pools above the mouth. Woody got into some cuts in a still deep hole and caught four. I worked fast water in the first (lower) hole and took two nice hybrid rainbow/cut. They looked like rainbow and fought and jumped like rainbows. I rose several others that gave the typical hard slap on top. It seems that the fish sort themselves out according to their genetic reaction to fast or slow water. Weather continues warm and we are seeing very little wildlife. Not a single muskrat! Woody reminds me that he saw a mouse.
