Yellowstone National Park Now that the Madison is going full steam ahead, the Lamar Valley is almost vacant. Grey Drakes, baetis, and streamers are all working well on Soda Butte, the Lamar, and slough. Since these fish aren't seeing many flies, you'll be able to hook a lot of them. Further south, the browns are now in the famous channels and easy to get.

The Yellowstone
The Madison The Madison in the Park has been red hot this week. Don't expect a slam dunk because these fish are not always in the mood to eat, but some true hogs have been caught and released - including this 26.5 incher that Tim Denholm is holding to the left! The Upper has been awesome, the lower a little slower, but big fish. 
The Spring Creeks The creeks are switching to Winter rates on 10/15. For $40 bucks you can enjoy a great day of sight fishing a small creek for big fish! The hatches have been good, so bring your baetis and midges. The hatch has been starting around 10:00, but it is still nice to get on the water by 9:00 to stake your claim and fish the holes you've been waiting for... 
The Bighorn Ahh... it's time to cast and blast! Pheasant season opens today (10/13) and the black caddis are STILL everywhere! Plus you've got Fall baetis scattering the water, so there's no excuse not to make the drive. George and some friends said they did very well yesterday - all on dries. They caught several fish over 20, but most fish in the 17" range. Plus streamer fishing down low! 
The Missouri Baetis baby! The MO is really fishing well right now. George was up there last sunday and said word to fish streamers in the morning, and then switch to Baetis around 11:00. Clouds are nice, but the baetis are popping even on the bright days. If only this kind of unbeatable fishing could last like this all year... Watch out big brown trout - here we come! 
Local Hot Spots Places like these can't take a ton of fishing pressure, so we don't post them on line. For these places, it is best to come see us in person (and be very polite). The reality is that if you are nice, we'll hook you up. We'll give you a map, (ask you to keep it to yourself), and sell you a few flies for the day. We've been on the road before too, and know how cool it is to get help from a fly shop.
