Here are some 4th of July Rodeo shots:
On a fishing note the water levels have GREATLY improved. The Wood is finally wadeable near Ketchum and even crossable for the bold. Green drakes are mainly in the Ketchum area where the water is clear and lower than below the mouth of Warm Springs Creek. Fish apparently like to eat green drakes, especially in the moderately fast water. On a more serious note, fish are still spawning on the Wood and in the Copper Basin. Hard to believe given it's after the 4th of July. The higher than normal water levels coupled with cooler weather has stalled almost everything but the hatches. Silver Creek is still unpredictable as far as hatch time and wind, etc... Today, at least where I was, there was essentially NO hatch. I counted 3 green drakes. Didn't have baetis or pmd's. Only a sailor would have liked the weather...
