The wind was absolutely ripping today. It was snowing pretty hard around Livingston and the fish were definitely not on. I saw one rise in the shields, which was equally colored up as the Jelly, maybe a foot and a half to two. Seems like yesterday's rain spiked the stone a bit, but looking at the charts, it is back on its way down. Between 40 mph gusts a slung a streamer close to the rip rap but didn't move a thing. Chalk another one up for paying my dues I guess. I did see some caddis eggs under the few rocks I turned. Nothing crazy, just globs or 4 or 5 or so here and there. The only consistent activity I saw were birds picking bugs off the surface. They were prowling along the rip rap to stay out of the heavy wind. At first I was excited, thinking that baetis were coming off, but after looking more closely they were eating midges. I don't have much hope for tomorrow, but with the Stone you never know...
