We are finally starting to see a few spring baetis on the Yellowstone and the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks. That said, we have been still been seeing 90% midges. Lately it has been tricky to pick a day to fish that hasn’t been snowing or blowing. The Yellowstone clarity is a little off due to…
It has been a chilly February so far with another cold spell coming early next week. Fishing on the Yellowstone has definitely been slow. Midges and streamers have been working during the mid-day window, any earlier or later has been a tough bite. The Spring Creeks have been a better bet, with warmer water and…
The weather has been nice enough to get out there and enjoy some time on the water. There is still a lot of shelf ice, making it difficult (and dangerous) to walk in certain spots. The River is also very low, making it very difficult to float, even in a raft you may have to…
The good news about December is we have had a lot of early snow storms, which have given the mountains a great start for snow pack. The Upper Yellowstone Basin is currently sitting around 105% snow pack, the Jefferson Basin is sitting at 117% and the Madison Basin is looking great with 137%. Big Sky…
Fishing near Livingston this week is going to be very difficult, unless you opt for fishing one of the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks. The browns are now spawning so we ask that you be careful not to step on any redds (spawning beds) and avoid fishing to actively spawning fish. The next generation of brown…
We have been fortunate to have some beautiful weather the past week. The leaves are in their prime color change right now, making it this past week a delightful time to get out on the river or the spring creeks. We have a big shift in weather coming however, with rain and snow on the…
The Yellowstone has been fishing well the past few days. There have been baetis on the water as well as Hecuba and some Fall Mohoganies. Both the streamer fishing and dry fly fishing has been better on cloudy / rainy days. The fishing has been slower on bright sunny days, with euro style nymphs working…
The Yellowstone does have some mud in it, especially from Gardiner to mid-valley. Town is starting to color up but still fishable and looking like a few feet of visibility early this morning. It did rain again in the park yesterday but it doesn’t look like there is another spike on the Lamar. Give us…
We expect to see some mud from yesterday’s rain, but so far so good. Gardiner looks clear for the moment, Livingston is clear so there is plenty of floatable water today. The streamer bite has picked up with the rainy weather and cloudy skies. We have also been seeing some Fall mahoganies and baetis. Hecuba…
The Yellowstone has fishing a little tough lately, at least the big Browns have been MIA. The change of cooler weather this week will help matters for sure. We have already been seeing mall Fall baetis on the water and with some rainy days in the forecast latter this week be sure to have some…
