An August Cold Snap?
Not quite, but things sure have cooled off over the past two days. Temps were in the nineties on Saturday and Sunday and then out of nowhere, a front moved through dropping Sunday night's temp by 60 degrees! I slept with my windows open and woke up thinking I was camping.
Big Hole River Report:
Cooler nighttime temps and a cloudy day yesterday really brought the water temp down from an alarming 73 degrees to a refreshing 59. Great news for a heat-stressed fish population.
The river is holding tough at 300 cfs, and hopefully 5 day forecast for afternoon showers does in fact bring moisture.
Temps should stay below the 90 degree mark this week and nights should drop into the 40's. Add in a little rain and we are in fine shape!
As for the fishing? It has been really good the past two days on tricos, hoppers, and caddis.

Check out Homer, Alaska in July. You'll find lots of charter capanits willing to take you out and troll for salmon or bottom-fish for huge halibut. I have fished the Anchor River outside of Homer, and can tell you that there are AWESOME silver salmon and king salmon runs pretty much every year. You simply can't go wrong with the Kenai penninsula. Good luck!
