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.

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 Henry’s Lake is a large, high altitude (over 6,000-feet above sea level), Meadow Lake. Henry’s Lake is relatively shallow and at its deepest point is only 28-feet deep at full pond. Henry’s Lake contains many underwater springs and is probably one of Idaho’s most fertile trout lakes. Henry’s Lake has some of the best trout growth-rates of any lake in the world. Henry’s Lake contains Rainbow Trout, Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow X Cutthroat Trout hybrids and Brook Trout. Henry’s Lake is prolific with Scuds, Leaches, Mottled Sculpins (Cottus bairdi), Damsel Flies (Odonata), Early Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis tricaudatus) and Midges (Diptera / Chironomous). Henry’s Lake is 15-miles southwest of West Yellowstone, Montana off Highway 20. It lies in a basin on the southern flanks of the Continental Divide and is the headwaters of the famous Henry’s Fork of the Snake River. Mountains surround Henry’s Lake; to the north is the Madison Range, to the southwest the Centennial Mountains and on a clear day to the southeast one can see the Grand Tetons. Henry’s Lake has only one no-fee boat ramp, Bill Frome public boat ramp; which is located on the west side of Henry’s Lake. The southeast boat ramp is located at the Idaho State Park, which allows camping for a fee. There are two-private boat ramps that charge a fee to launch a boat; located on the north shore is Wild Rose boat ramp and camping and to the northwest is Staley Springs boat ramp and camping.

Introduction The Yellowstone Drainage supports the largest inland population of native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout on Earth. The Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout is considered a shared resource in Yellowstone Lake: Grizzly Bears, Black Bears, Bald Eagles Golden Eagles, Pelicans, Osprey, Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, Gulls, Grebes, Terns, Loons, Mergansers, Mink, Otters, Wolves and Coyotes prey upon Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. In the Yellowstone drainage 200,000-pounds of Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout are eaten each year by these animals and birds. Yellowstone Lake is the largest fresh water lake in the United States above 7,000-feet, it’s altitude is 7,733-feet above sea level. The Yellowstone Lake encompasses 136 square miles, it is 20-miles long, 14-miles wide and has 110-miles of shoreline. Yellowstone Lake is 320-feet deep at its deepest point. The average depth is 139-feet. Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout generally inhabit the upper 60-feet because their food source rarely occurs below that depth. The average surface temperature in August is 60 degrees Fahrenheit; the bottom the temperature never rises above 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The serenity of Yellowstone Lake can suddenly change with afternoon thunderstorms and their accompanying winds. These winds can routinely produce 3-foot waves or larger within minutes on Yellowstone Lake. With water temperatures averaging 41 degrees Fahrenheit you can develop hypothermia quickly if your vessel capsizes. Fishing season in Yellowstone Lake opens June 15th each year, usually! There are 124-tributaries the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout use for spawning including the largest tributary, the Yellowstone River. These spawning tributaries open July 15th each year, however some remain closed all year. The use of all lead fishing tackle is band; fisherman must use Non-Toxic alternative products. The West Thumb geyser basin area has intense heat in the lake sediments, which indicate a shallow thermal system underlying this more recent caldera. If the lake level should fall just a few feet, an immense steam (hydrothermal) explosion could occur here. Mary Bay and Indian Pond now show evidence of these craters.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gary David Blount was born in Dunsmuir, California in 1955 to David Oliver Blount and Irene Rose Blount. Gary lived on the banks of the Sacramento River and began fishing as soon as he could hold a fishing rod. In 1964 his family moved to Moreland, Idaho on the banks of the Snake River. While living in Moreland Gary’s father purchased a piece of property on the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River outside the town of Last Chance, Idaho. Gary’s father was a schoolteacher and every summer they would fish the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River and all the waters in the “Golden Triangle” of Yellowstone National Park. In 1966 the family moved to Sandy, Oregon on the banks of the Sandy River. At this time the Sandy River was one of Oregon’s best Salmon and Steelhead Rivers. At age eleven Gary began tying his own flies with fly tying instruction from his next-door neighbor, George Mac Alevy. George was a professional Fly Tier and wrote a weekly fishing column “By the River’s Edge” in the local paper. In 1984 Gary moved to Missoula, Montana and obtained a job with Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks as a Fisheries Technician. Gary’s duties consisted of: determining species composition, distribution, size, abundance and age of Wild Trout in Region 2 in Montana. In August of 1984 he was assigned to perform a cursory sampling on Rattlesnake Creek, which flows through the town of Missoula. Rattlesnake Creek upstream from the Water Company Dam, which is three-miles north of Missoula, had been closed to all fishing since 1940. After two-days fishing Rattlesnake Creek Gary realized the fishing regulations on Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout were far to liberal in the region and most of the Westslope Cutthroat Trout brood stock were being harvested from all Western Montana waters. Gary had spent all summer performing population estimates on over eighty bodies of water in Region 2 and had not seen a fishery that even compared to the fishery in Rattlesnake Creek. Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks did not have the funds available to do a study on Rattlesnake Creek so Gary originated a privately funded research project, Rattlesnake Creek Research Project. Today there are special regulations for Montana’s Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout in all of Western Montana waters as a result of Gary’s Rattlesnake Creek Research Project. Gary moved to West Yellowstone, Montana in 1989 and worked as a fishing guide for two-years before becoming a licensed fishing outfitter. Gary owned and operated Yellowstone Catch & Release Outfitter until 1996. In 1994 Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks made an Associated Press Release that stated that the Madison River had Whirling Disease and the Rainbow Trout population had diminished from 3,000 Rainbow Trout per mile of stream to less than 300 Rainbow Trout per mile of stream. This Associated Press Release unfortunately force Gary out of the outfitting business.

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.).

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.
