Clarity in town is looking good, although it is windy and CFS is on the rise. The Valley is less breezy but also less visibility since the Lamar and Gardiner rivers have come up significantly with yesterday’s hotter weather. Billman creek (near the lumber yard) is puking in a ton of mud but the main…
If you haven’t heard by now, caddis have officially “popped” by the thousands over here. The dry fly fishing has been really good the last couple days, although it has been spotty. There have been March browns, baetis, and midges out as well but the trout seem to be keying in on caddis mostly….
Clarity has improved since yesterday, at least in town. The Larmar and Gardiner rivers bumped a bit but the Yellowstone should be clear up high as well for the next couple days anyway. No vortex hatches of Caddis but quite a few spotted near Pine Creek, Town, and down low. Today is shaping up to…
The Yellowstone is looking good this morning. CFS on the Stone, Lamar, and Gardiner have been dropping the past couple days. The dry fly fishing has been better than the streamer fishing lately, mostly on Baetis and March Browns, despite all the midges. Caddis have started but haven’t been very thick yet, however, if the…
Come join the Greater Yellowstone Coalition and Simms at Katabatic Brewing for a night to learn more about their ongoing work to protect the Yellowstone River from ill-planned mining proposals in Paradise Valley and the Gardiner Basin. We will be selling Simms SOS (save our streams) Yellowstone river t-shirts, (of which Simms is donating proceeds…
So far this week’s rain hasn’t impacted the CFS flows too much. We have been seeing some caddis afterwork already but things are just getting started in that department. There have been tons of midges out as well as some baetis and March Browns way down low. The dry fly fishing has been better than the…
The Stone looks like a go for today. Yesterday was warm but not hot enough to make the CFS spike hard like last week. Call anytime for a report or to book a trip but the river looks good to go for now… 406-222-7130.
The annual Yellowstone River Clean up is now just a week away. Please note the clean up is no longer at the Civic Center in Sacajawea Park, but has now moved to Pop Stand on 89 South. The dumpsters (and recycling) will be set up in front of the old Melody and the boat wash…
Looks like boats will better off headed to the Upper Madison this weekend, or at least today. The Lamar and Gardiner both spiked but have since peaked, so there is a slim chance the Upper Yellowstone could be playing by Easter Sunday. Starting next week the forecast is calling for rain, which could make for…
It’s about time to put the skis up and get the rods out. The Yellowstone has started to pick up lately. Water temps are still cold however, so if you are streamer fishing be sure to slow down your retrieve. Often times no action at all has been the ticket. Since the water clarity has…
