around Mammoth.
No bears nor bear tracks were
seen this entire day.
We caught 6 trout between 8 and
10 inches long in the Firehole; 3 were
Lack Sever, 2 Eastern Brook, 1 Rainbow,
all in good condition. Many people
were fishing all along the Firehole,
but so far as we could ascertain, fish
were caught with spinners, or
wet flies. The water surface was
swarming with May flies but no
fish were jumping. Consequently our
dry flies were not taken.
As we returned past Sunger Peak
and through the Hoopbox we watched
an aurora borealis. It was not
very bright but was exceedingly
beautiful & fantastic. At its
brightest it cast a weird luminous
glow along the side of Sanger Peak.
