Despite the recent afternoon thunderstorms, the Yellowstone is still good to go clarity wise.  With just a couple more big storms on the radar we should be out of the woodworks by wednesday, provide the Lamar doesn’t get hit hard this evening or tomorrow afternoon.   We did just get a mid-day report today (7/15)…

The Yellowstone has been fishing well.  Certain days have been better than others, but overall the dry fly action has been solid.  Most boats are still throwing salmonflies up high, with a fair amount of goldenstones, sallies, and caddis on the water as well.   As the river continues to drop the streamer bite is…

The Yellowstone has been fishing very well the past few days, but there has also been some great dry fly fishing on both local and private lakes lately.   Damsels, callibaetis, sedges, cicadas and terrestrials have all been working well out there, with a few big fish even looking up and taking the dry.  If…

Salmonfly Fever continues… most boats have been heading up high to be in the middle of the salmonflies.  There have also been a bunch of sallies, caddis, goldenstones, and big chocolate colored sedges.   Nymphing with stonefly nymphs has been effective and the streamer bite has been decent as well, especially where you are not…

The Yellowstone is on the drop and fishing well!  Salmonfly fever is now in full effect with big bugs anywhere from Emigrant up to Gardiner.  Flows are still a little burly so be careful out there and have fun!  Give us a call to book a trip.  406-222-7130.

The Yellowstone is still looking good today despite the hard thunderstorms the past two afternoons.  Pine Creek down is still rocking and rolling and too pushy to fish effectively.  Better to wait until 8,000 CFS for that.  Salmonfly dries have popped and the fish have been taking dries tight to the willows.  There have been…

The Yellowstone is starting to shape up.  Looks like the Lamar is starting to level out, with temperatures in the high 70’s and low 80’s this week we could be on the drop soon.  Flows at Carter’s Bridge this morning are around 12,00o CFS so the valley will fish much better than town or below town…

South Western Montana rivers are on the drop and fishing well.  There are a lot of places to go right now including the all the major blue ribbon streams as well as smaller spring creeks, mountain streams, and local stillwaters. There have been Salmonflies, goldenstones, sallies, PMD’s, caddis, brown drakes, and terrestrials out there so…

PMD’s have been coming off in full force on the Spring Creeks.  Mornings have been slower, but the afternoons have offered dry fly anglers some solid action.  From what we can gather, the larger (size 14-18) infrequens PMDs hatched at bit earlier on the Yellowstone Aquife, which flows through Armstrong’s and DePuy’s and a day…

Clarity is looking very good just above Carter’s bridge today.  The town section and below however is very fast, deep, and turbulent, making the Valley a much better fishing option until flows drop.  The Larmar finally blipped up a bit, we’ll see what happens the next day or two but we are expecting the Yellowstone…
