Some off color in the river between Hebgen and Quake Lakes. Below Quake Lake fish in no boating area fish seem to hold close to banks. So long casts and slow retrieves parallel to banks with nymph or streamer patterns offered by walking the banks instead of wading offers a good strategy through presenting nymph and streamer patterns. Try the good midge actviity on Hebgen Lake early or late in the day as wind makes it difficult to use dropper rigs. During windy periods try leech and streamer patterns using intermediate lines.
