The Yellowstone is looking great but the “W” is blowing a little harder than it has been the last few days. Other than that conditions are excellent with no mud plugs and plenty of water. We do have some rain in the forecast for today and tomorrow. We’ll see what happens, but so far most…
The river is rocking and rolling with plenty of water for all. Hoppers have taken over as most anglers are throwing some kind of hopper – either drifting it solo, fishing it with a dry dropper, (like a small ant or parachute), or a nymph dropper, (such as a small rubberleg or beadhead). Nymphing has…
Aside from fishing hoppers and other big dries, the streamer fishing has been pretty decent on the Yellowstone this week. The river has now dropped to 4500 CFS and many of our favorite streamer banks and runs are in great shape with plenty of water to work. If you have always liked the idea of…
Fish have been looking up and eating hoppers, stones, ants, other terrestrials, and small attractor dries on the Yellowstone this week. Water temps are staying cool and the fishing has been good right through the afternoon. Nymphs have been working as well, try any variety of a larger (size #8/10) nymph followed by a…
Good news, bad news. The bad news is there is a lot of thick near Livingston past Big Timber right now. The good news is that the river is clearing up high and ready to fish today. By tomorrow we should be in the clear for a good while, with hopper fishing heating up…
As expected, the Yellowstone has been tiger striped with mud this weekend. We’ve had some excellent fishing in between the mud plugs however, as the fish have been actively looking for food. Currently there is a larger mud plug coming from the park, which means it will be more difficult to find clear water tomorrow…
Today there is a plug of mud from Gardiner reaching down past Corwin Springs (already by 8:00AM). We suspect this plug will be short since the storms in the Park have been short and the spike on the Lamar wasn’t a huge one. We will likely experience similar storms the rest of the week, which…
The Yellowstone was on fire yesterday due to the steady and long lasting cloud cover. Fish were up and happy eating chubbies, hoppers, ants, and smaller dries. The nymph and streamer fishing were also pretty solid. Today’s late afternoon clouds should help out the dry fly bite a little and tomorrow looks party cloudy as…
The Yellowstone continues to give up the goods! CFS has now dropped to around 6,500 in town and 5900 at Corwin Springs. We are seeing more hoppers around, although only a few have actually hit the water. Stonefly action is still solid, as well as small dry flies like purple haze, trudes, caddis, and other…
Flows on the Stone continue to drop slowly… currently at 7,350 CFS in town and 6,560 near Corwin Springs. The forecast looks clear through the weekend, with a chance of thunderstorms starting Monday/Tuesday. Give us a call to book a last minute trip or to plan a trip in August or September. 406-222-7130.
