Fishing has gotten a little tough out there this past week. Mornings have still been challenging, but fish have been eating stonefly patters, rubber leg nymphs, and a variety of tungsten bead jig droppers. The afternoons have still produced the most action with the hopper window fishing best between 11:30-3:00. Water temps through town have…
The Yellowstone has been a little tough this past week, especially the morning bite. The afternoons have been fishing well however, with fish looking up for hoppers. Smaller dry droppers have been working as well, such as ants, beetles, and a variety of smaller parachute dries. Water temps have been staying below 70 degrees in…
Clarity in town today looked at least a couple feet. Looks like Gardiner has clear water now, although the Gardiner had chocolate milk in it last night and that mud is currently at Emigrant (8:22 AM). The good news is that it is a short plug. Pine Creek to Springdale should be fine today. The…
The Yellowstone continues to fish a little fickle but there have been some quality fish caught this past week. We finally got a couple days of cloud cover, which helped keep the water temps down a bit for a couple days, but after more sun the water temp reached over 70 degrees. The good news…
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…

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…
