It’s prime time for Fall fishing on the Yellowstone right now.  The trees are looking about as good as it gets and the browns have been eating here and there.  The main issue has been wind, however those who are willing to get out and battle the elements have had some success streamer fishing.  If…

As per usual, the river has been on and off.  But when it turns on you can have some excellent fishing for a hour or two on dries, streamers, or nymphs.  When it is off there is nothing you can do but present your fly correctly and fish the good spots with proper techniques, eventually…

The Yellowstone is looking clear again and good to go.  The last couple days it has been windy in Livingston (surprise – surprise) but the streamer fishing has been picking up.  Calmer moments through out the days have given us windows of opportunity for dry fly fishing with midges and baetis.  In certain places the…

The plug has cleared through town already, making the river fishable from Gardiner to Livingston.  If you are chasing directly behind the mud you might flirt with fishing Mayor’s or 89 down.  The only issue is that we are expecting winds through town up to 30 mph today, so the valley may be a better…

We have been following a thick mud plug that is currently from Emigrant to Livingston as of Thursday morning.  Yesterday the plug was from Gardiner to Emigrant, tomorrow the plug will likely be below Springdale to Big Timber.  We think the mud plug came from a landslide on the Yellowstone since neither the Lamar or…

The Yellowstone is flowing at 3220 today, a good 1,000 CFS over the 92 year average flow.  This should translate to a good Fall, wether you are chucking streamers for big, running browns or fishing baetis dries in the foam eddies to smaller risers the Yellowstone has something good to offer you.  We have a…

The Yellowstone fished well yesterday and looks good to go today.  The river is clear in Gardiner and looks fine at Pine.  Today would be a great day to get out and dead drift or strip some buggers and streamers.  Yesterday there were quite a few baetis on the water.  Today is calling for partly…

The river looks good at Pine creek right now (8:00 AM 9/19) but we have some thick mud coming down from Gardiner already.  Today will be fine but we may have to float way down low tomorrow, or float the Madison.  The good news is the Madison has been fishing well and would be a…

We are thankful to have our first big rain in a long time!  Yesterday fished well and there were a lot of baetis on the water with plenty of rising fish happy fish.  Most of these were smaller fish, but a few bigger rainbows were looking at dries as well.  Today looks like an even…

The river has been a lot less crowded now that school is in session and people have been bow hunting and bird hunting.  With cooler temperatures and clouds in the forecast the rest of the week it’s time to make sure your streamer box and baetis box are looking good.   Give us a call…
