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.
