This is an invitation for you, your friends or your fishing club to participate in conducting recaptures: “Angling Day’s” published in all of Gary David Blount Rocky Mountain Fishing Journals. These Rocky Mountain Fishing Journals encompass 35-years and contain over 1,500 - “Angling Day’s” documenting the daily “Wild Trout” catch rates, water temperature, water level, water turbidity, air temperature, weather conditions, daily hatches, stomach analysis from “Wild Trout” landed, “GDB” Custom Flies fished, fly fishing presentations, trout species, trout lengths and geographic location on over 35-different bodies of water in Montana, Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park, Idaho and Washington. This Perpetual cursory research projects objective is to ascertain skilled or professional anglers at [email protected] and have them return to each body of water on the precise date, geographic location and time period fished contained in every one of my Rocky Mountain Fishing Journals. Each ascertain skilled or professional angler will document their “Angler Day” using the same format I used in each one of my Rocky Mountain Fishing Journals along with their “Angler Day” photographs in “JPEG” format. Each skilled or professional anglers “Angling Day” written documentation and photographs will be e-mailed to [email protected] and I will publish them in Gary David Blount “Yearly” Perpetual Rocky Mountain Fishing Journal.

Introduction Hebgen Lake is one of the most productive reservoirs on this planet. The largest tributary to Hebgen Lake is the famous Madison River. The Madison River is the world’s largest Chalkstream. The Madison River is formed by the confluence of the Firehole River and Gibbon River at Madison Junction inside Yellowstone National Park. The thousands of Thermals, Geysers and Fumerals in its headwater tributaries; the Firehole River and the Gibbon River enrich the Madison Rivers ecosystem. This enriched water flows into the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake. The entire Madison Arm contains massive weed beds and most of the Madison Arm is less than thirty-feet deep; which is perfect for prolific insect growth. Hebgen Lake elevation is 6,630-feet above sea level and is 22-miles in length. Hebgen Lake contains Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Utah Chubs and Sculpins. Hebgen Lake contains Brown Trout, which will break the current Montana State record. During a fisheries study on Hebgen Lake in the early 1990’s a Hebgen Lake Brown Trout Brood Stock was captured in a fish trap on Duck Creek, which is a tributary to Hebgen Lake. This Brown Trout weighed over 30-pounds. The Montana State record is 29-pounds and was caught in Wade Lake, Montana in 1966 by E. H. Bacon. The fisheries biologist who was conducting the fisheries study was known to fish the “Narrows” by Kirkwood using Utah Chubs, a large Cannon Ball weight bounced off the bottom in attempt to catch this state record Brown Trout. Hebgen Lake is world renowned for its “Gulper” fishing during the White Winged Black emergence (Tricorythodes minutus) and Speckled Dun emergence (Callibaetis nigritis) in July, August and September. During this time of the year one will find ten to thirty-float tubers in the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake.

Introduction The Yellowstone River within Yellowstone National Park is the world’s best Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout fishery. The Yellowstone River within the park can be divided into three-distinctive sections. The headwaters of the Yellowstone River begin on the east side of the Continental Divide from the Shoshone Mountain Range of Wyoming. The Yellowstone River flows northerly into Yellowstone Lake, elevation 7,733-feet. Yellowstone Lake is the largest lake at this elevation on the continent. The mid-section of the Yellowstone River, which flows out of Yellowstone Lake downstream to the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River lies the world renown section of the Yellowstone River where hundreds of people flock to on July 15th “Opening Day” every year. The lower section, below the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River flows through the Canyon of the Yellowstone downstream to the Yellowstone National Park Boundary, by the town of Gardner, Montana is probably the least fished section of the Yellowstone River. The fishing seasons opens July 15th every year which allows the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Brood Stock to spawn and gives the Yellowstone Cutthroat Fry time to emerge from the redds before the wade fishermen can step on them. The headwaters and mid-section of the Yellowstone River are the major spawning areas for the Yellowstone Lake Cutthroat Trout Fishery. The Yellowstone River is a premiere dry fly fishing river with prolific hatches of May Flies: Early Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis tricaudatus), Late Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis parvus), Little Western Blue-Winged Olive (Ephemerella margarita), Western Green Drake (Drunella grandis), Pale Morning Dun (Ephemerella inermis and Ephemerella infrequens) and Small Western Green Drake (Ephemerella flavilinea); Stone Flies: Salmon Fly (Pteronarcys californica), Western Big Golden Stone Fly (Calineuria californica), Western Medium Golden Brown Stone Fly (Isoperla sp.) and Little Yellow Stone Fly (Alloperla pallidula); Caddis: Green Sedge (Ryacophila sp.), Little Tan Short Horn Sedge (Glossosoma sp.), Spotted Sedge (Hydropsyche sp.) and Giant Orange Sedge (Dicosmoecus sp.).
