Fishing May1

If you are looking for wadable waters, try access #5.� It's the parking lot just up from Lake Solano.� There are numbered signs at the 5 access points.� If you are not aware of the New Zealand Mud Snail, you may want to do some research before fishing the creek.� There are tons of them in the lower reaches of the creek.� Before fishing another waterway you will need to disinfect your gear.� You can freeze your boots and waders overnight or soak them in a 50-50 solution of Formula 409 (industrial strength) and water.� Another option is to soak them in hot water (130 degrees) for 5 minutes.

If you're looking for flows on the creek, check the following sites:

I hope this answers your questions.� If you have any others, don't hesitate to ask.� There are many people here who would be glad to assist you.

Thanks JT. We will definitely disinfect before fishing elsewhere.

Greetings,
�� to all who read this, thank you for the info and tips. Just started flyfishing last summer and now i have two addictions (the other is homebrewing!). I too will be in Yellowstone for i will be working there from May to October. I'm working at the Gallatin District, which is where the Madison, Firehole, and part of the Gibbon is (and where i learned to flyfish). If you have been there before and know the good spots, awesome. But if you want some updated info, let me know. I plan to waste most of my free time fishing myself. By the way, i fished access #1�where the stream makes a sharp left turn (just above that harsh strech of whitewater) 3 days ago�and hooked 4, landed 2. the two landed were about 16" I had a #16 prince nymph and a #18 black nymph(looks like a brassie, but its black with a little white). sorry, still learning my names.
