The Yellowstone has had its ups and downs this past week. With few clouds in the sky, the dry fly bite has been tough. Guides have been working hard to put people on fish however, often this has meant nymphing or fishing a dry/dropper rig. The streamer bite has been slow as well, but all…
Local and private lakes have been fishing well recently. Callibaetis and damsels have been the two main hatches but a variety of scuds and leeches have also been working well. Give us a call if you’d like to book a trip! 1-406-222-7130.
The river has been dropping and fishing well the past few days. CFS @ Carter’s bridge is currently at 8,450 and shaping up nicely. Salmonflies are still around way up high, a float anywhere near Gardiner would be a good choice right now if you are looking to see these big bugs in action. The…
There have been a plethora of bugs on the water lately including Salmonflies, Goldenstones, Sallies, Caddis, and Green Drakes. There have also been a good number of boats out there chasing them so you might check with your shuttle driver if you prefer to avoid the crowds. The big bugs can be found anywhere from…
Recent rain has muddied up the Yellowstone. People have been nymphing and catching a few but clarity has been less than a foot and not ideal for dries. The weather is calling for 80% chance of rain this afternoon and tonight, which means the Yellowstone will likely be muddy again tomorrow and possibly Thursday. The…
Clarity is looking slightly better today than yesterday. People have been catching a few fish but still working hard for them. Still no sign of salmonfly dries but that should change soon… Give us a call for the latest report or to book a trip! 1-406-222-7130.
Clarity today in town is definitely a little dirtier than yesterday. The hydrologic prediction is calling for a rise in CFS over the next few days but dropping by the Friday 6/26. There are no signs of big bugs on the Stone yet, but possibly by this weekend depending on how cold and rainy things…
Although the Yellowstone has been dropping we are expecting the river to come back up this week. We had a few days with day time temperatures in the high 80’s which eventually caused the Lamar and other rivers to come up. While temps are going to be lower starting Sunday, we also have some rain…
While runoff on the Yellowstone remains in full force, tailwaters, spring creeks, and lakes have been fishing well. We expect the PMD’s on the creeks to hatch around June 20th or so, with the thickest hatches occurring right towards the end of June. With snow water equivalent for the upper Yellowstone Basin at 80% snow…
Clarity on the Yellowstone yesterday (5/24) was less than a foot. There is a chance right on the edges with a streamer however, and that means a chance of a nice brown if you get lucky. Last week’s hydrologic prediction was right, at least the river was on the drop the past few days. Expect…
