You did not land, on average, one fish every three minutes, smallest being 18" for 2 hours straight. There is a good population of 12-14 inch fish there that are impossible to avoid in the spring (the river is too warm in the summer), and only on a good day can you find a few fish over 18". And if you hook one it will probably take more than three minutes to land. Even scaling 18" to 14", I'd say you had an unusually great, but plausible, day.

And you are talking about another river ... There are river in Oregon you can catch that many fish in a day just not in the 12-16 range. More like 6-10 inch range...

Top #692693 - 03/22/12 07:51 PM Re: Bozeman vs. Missoula [Re: rob allen] koffman Rob A, I have fished that section in the the same scenario and it can be unbelievable when the water is off color and the big bugs are on the water. You will remember that day forever, as I will. Rob G, I think you should fish through the bikini hatch more often and try to focus on the fish, they are still there even with all that ass in the water.

Yeah, they are there, but the fishing tapers off quite a bit in general in my experience during the day. Maybe notsomuch since they started pulsing flows... Some people claim the hooking mortality is pretty high when the temps are up. I have a hard time casting between inner tubes when there is so much more water and backcountry available in the summer so I'll leave it to you and Rob.
