The river is still pretty off color right now but today is the first day that looks like it might be worth a shot. CFS has leveled out in town but it looks like it may be coming up again at Corwin Springs. Not much “W” this weekend but it does look like it 40%…
Fishing on the Yellowstone has picked up, slightly. If you catch the right day/moment the trout have been pretty happy and rising to midges. Otherwise, in general the fishing has still been pretty slow still. If you are trying to float be aware that the shuttle companies aren’t up and running yet and also several…
With the recent warm weather a lot of anglers have been eager to hit the river. The fishing has been ok to good depending on where you go. We all got out this weekend and the results were less than spectacular. The majority of the fish are still in their winter pattern sticking to the…
Our third group has just returned from Jurassic Lake Lodge. Although they faced some challenging conditions such as low water in the river and ripping 50-60 mph winds, everyone on the trip caught the biggest rainbow of their lives. Which goes to show how amazing this place really is. Even when the fishing is “difficult”…
Week 2 at Jurassic Lake lodge was another successful trip. The guys caught a ton of fish in the 15-18 pound range, all with tall shoulders and as chrome as can be. The report was basically the same, with big fish eating small dries in the river while the bay fish were still…
Our trip to Jurassic Lake Lodge was pretty good this year despite the lower water levels of the Barroncoso river. Last winter the Santa Cruz province in Argentina didn’t receive as much snow pack as it has in recent years, creating drought like conditions for many areas in Patagonia. After adjusting our tippet and flies…
With Freestone rivers iced up and frozen over, only Tailwaters or Spring Creeks make sense for fly-fishing right now. There have been some midge hatches on the creeks, but for the most part, the action has been sub-surface with scuds, small nymphs, or streamers. Dito for the Tailwaters… Give us a call if you are…
This week’s arctic weather has put a serious kibosh on the Yellowstone. Unless you are borderline insane, the only reasonable place to fish around here is going to be the Spring Creeks, and even that is going to be chilly for a while. That being said, if you dress appropriately with lots of layers, a…
The past couple weeks the Yellowstone has been pretty slow, mostly because the larger browns have been in side channels or tributaries spawning on their redds. We are finally starting to see some of these browns return back to the main runs and riffles which is encouraging. It’s been windy for the most part, but…
Just a few Halloween pics for fun. If you have any you’d like to share e-mail us at staff@yellowstoneangler.com. As we mentioned before the Yellowstone looks like it is going to be a while before she clears up and is fishing good again. In the meantime we’ve been fishing the Spring Creeks, the Madison,…
