The fishing last week was frigid to say the least, but people were getting out there still.  Most all of the fishing last week was on the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks, (Armstrong’s, Nelson’s, and DePuy’s), where the water temperatures come out of the ground around 52°F.  All the typical winter fishing problems were present –…

Things have been pretty cold in Montana the past couple weeks, but if you wait for warmer weather, (or less wind) you might not be fishing until April.  In general, the fishing has been very slow out there, but if you are willing to get some cold fingers and toes there might be a fish…

Winter fishing on the Yellowstone has been slow this year, mostly due to cold temps, lots of wind, and slush ice.  The slush part of the equation is looking better but is constantly changing and might be back with snow coming in the forecast this Friday.  Unfortunately the wind part the equation has not been…

It’s been a little too cold to fish lately, but it looks like Mother Nature is setting us up nicely for next year.  With plenty of early snow pack already we expect a big runoff in 2018 and plenty of water through September.  If you do decide to go fishing this January, the Spring Creeks…

We wish we had a better fishing report for you but the harsh reality is that the Stone doesn’t look good.  Even though it has been in the 40’s this week, it’s been cold at nigh, plus last week’s cold weather still has some slush ice floating down.  We have now gotten far enough into…

Fishing on the Yellowstone has been slow the past few weeks.  The browns have all been on their redds, which means the rest of the river and all the “normal” good streamer spots are vacant.   Hopefully this will change sooner than later and the post spawn browns will return to some of their normal…

Things got cold quickly this year, which has already driven a lot of Fall spawning rainbows and browns into the tributaries and side channels of the Yellowstone.   Most all the leaves have fallen along the Yellowstone now, but some of the bushes are hanging on to a little color.  You won’t see too many…

Our days fishing in Yellowstone National Park our now limited.  The Park closes every year on the first Sunday of November – this year that date is November 5th.  There are lots of great spots to go including the Yellowstone itself, the Gardiner, the Lamar, Soda Butte, the Firehole, the Gibbon, the Madison, the Lewis…

Recently we’ve been experiencing a lot of wind on the Yellowstone, which has made fishing tougher.  With winds reaching into the 30’s, and gusts into the 50’s, we haven’t seen as many Fall baetis as we’d like to on the Yellowstone and Paradise Valley Spring Creeks.  We currently have a wind advisory through Wednesday, but…
