Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks has CLOSED the section of the river from Mayor’s Landing to Sheep Mountain. You can still take out at Mayor’s and launch at Sheep but there is no floating in between. There are safety concerns with the railroad bridge upstream of 89. Here is the official notice from FWP:
People have been asking if there are any dangerous areas that have changed on the Yellowstone and the answer is definitely, yes. From the sounds of it, the scariest water has been from Pine to Carter’s, especially river right, about a mile and a half above Carter’s. The far right side channel sounds like the…
We have been fishing the Yellowstone for about a week now. Despite clarity issues, the Yellowstone has been producing some trout and quite a few whitefish. On average each boat has been catching 0-5 trout and 5-10 whitefish a day. No lunkers have been landed yet, but lots of solid rainbows and cutthroat. There have…
The Yellowstone has been dropping steadily the past few days and should be fishing well next week. We talked to 4 boats that were on it yesterday. One boat got skunked, two boats got one each, and the fourth boat got a few. Clarity is still only around an inch or two but should improve…

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!

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 Hydraulic prediction is calling for a steep spike by Tuesday, Monday should be…
