The Yellowstone has been ripping lately, although cold weather had CFS dropping for a couple days over the weekend. Has the Yellowstone peaked is the question we are all wondering? Historically the Yellowstone usually peaks during the first 10 days of June, so we would not be surprised to see water levels come back…
One good thing about the river running high and muddy is that quite a bit of snow has come out of the mountains already. Before the Upper Yellowstone River Basin was sitting at 160% snowpack, however in the past few weeks the melt has reduced this to roughly 122% (water-snow equivalent). This means the Yellowstone…

The Yellowstone has been dropping the past couple days so we figured we’d post a pic. Town down looks too squirrelly for good fishing, (not to mention newly some arrived tree snags and large waves in spots where you aren’t used to seeing them). If you really want to give it a shot today the…
The past couple days the river has been rising steadily. Now the East and West channels on Siebeck Island look equally dirty, (before the West channel was more muddy due to Billman Creek spewing in mud). It will be a while before we are back looking at the Yellowstone. Keep an eye on the CFS…
Clarity in town looks bit worse from yesterday but not as bad as we expected. A few inches of visibility but the river is on the rise and will more than likely fish slow. You never know though, if you are in the right eddy we’ve seen fish eat in a lot dirtier water. Most…
The past couple days there have been tons of caddis in town, with a few starting to flutter in the Valley. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen many rising fish out there yet and the fishing has been pretty slow. We thought the river would have blown out by now but clarity is definitely still good enough…
Clarity is about the same as this morning as it was yesterday. The river fished slow yesterday although we managed to land a few decent browns. We did see caddis, but very few (as in a couple dozen flying around and no rising fish). There were actually more March Brown adults on the water than…
Today is looking good clarity wise, although CFS bumped already a bit at Corwin. Today should be good, tomorrow on the fence, by this weekend we expect to see a rising river. We have been seeing caddis but only a few so far on the Yellowstone. Give us a call to book a trip or…
The Yellowstone has less than 6 inches of visibility today in town (and brown). Pine Creek web came doesn’t look much better. Tomorrow and Friday might have a window as CFS is on the drop, and then it looks like CFS might be coming back up by the weekend. Give us a call for a…
