The Madison river has been fishing well the past few days. Be prepared to see company on the upper Madison now that salmonflies are around. You can try to get above the big bugs by going up high, but it might be hard to get away from other boats unless you float very early or…
One of the most common questions we get asked is “where should we eat?” We’ve rounded up our five favorite eateries around Livingston to help you decide where to go!
Every year we find gear on the banks of the Yellowstone and every year try to find the owners, but more often than not, the net, rod, or fly box are left unclaimed at the end of the season. We always wish we had a way to find the owners of the waterlogged gear, but…
Clarity in town, (5/15 7:47 AM) Clarity is hanging in there, at least for today. The west channel has some mud kicking in from a feeder creek, which means other feeder creeks could be bringing in a little mud as well.

The fishing on the Yellowstone has been slow lately. A few nice browns have been caught on streamers here and there but now many of the browns are already up tributaries, in side channels, or in the tailouts looking for gravel. As they begin to spawn we’ll look to give them a break to get…
A couple of weeks ago I (Chloe) had the pleasure of hosting the Mountain Girl Ladies Who Cast Fly Fishing Clinic. Seven women from across the state gathered on the lawn and in the shop to learn the basics of fly fishing and more importantly, to gain confidence and break down barriers for entry into…
