Fished again today on the Gallatin in a large, slow pool under a bridge about two miles north on the river from Big Sky. It was a little colder with the shade even though it was a comparably warm day at around 30 degrees. One could see about twenty to thirty fish of various size all facing downstream but the current was slow moving back up. I got a few of the smaller ones to hit on an egg pattern and another on the golden stone. But couldn't get some of the bigger ones (i would say 15-19'') to move. A lot of the fish were facing diagonally downward in the sand of the river bottom and were possibly feeding on midges just as they were coming off the sand floor. A few fish rose on midges around me but most of the feeding was sub-surface. Total count for the day were four rainbow trout; two 7'' and two 10-11'' and one three inch, ugly sculpin that got my golden stone as it sat in the water in front of me while i released one of the smaller 'bows (and it got my line tangled getting it off my hook!)
