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…

The Yellowstone is still looking off color, with a slightly more clear river in Gardiner. There should be just enough visibility on the edges to catch some fish today, tomorrow should be good to go. The mud spike was from August 25th, with a mini spike following on the 26th. With clear skies and no…

The Yellowstone is back to “green is good” after a long plug of thick mud. Gardiner to Livingston is looking good to go. Below Livingston could likely fish well with streamers and maybe hoppers by this afternoon. Should be a good bite out there today since the river has been rested a few days. Good…

The Yellowstone has a heavy (and lengthy) mud plug in it right now, from Gardiner all the way past Big Timber. Looks like today is a no go. We are hoping that the river will start to clear up high by Wednesday evening / Thursday but there is still some mud in Yellowstone Park to…
