Now that the Yellowstone (and it’s tributaries) are closed we spreading our trips out to other areas. Yellowstone National Park, the upper and lower Madison, the Missouri, as well as public and private lakes are all fishing well right now. Aside from these options we are also booking jet boat trips as well carp fishing…
The Yellowstone AND ITS TRIBUTARIES are now officially closed to ANY river use until further notice. This includes fishing, boating, wading, floating, tubing, or any other activity that involves contact with the water). The reason for all this is due to a parasite that has been killing thousands of whitefish on the Yellowstone and…
FWP lifted a “Hoot-Owl” restriction yesterday from Carter’s bridge down to Springdale, so the Yellowstone is now open 24 hours a day from Gardiner down to the Springdale Bridge. It looks like we have more clouds in the future, so hopefully the new amendment will stick for the rest of the summer. From Springdale bridge…
The Yellowstone has been fishing well in the mornings and although there is no hoot owl closure above Carter’s bridge we are still recommending to get on (and off) the river early. Water temps have actually been quite good before 2:00PM (see below) and the fish have been eating well before noon. While the guides…
We know we have mud coming from Yellowstone National Park, so way up high is risky today (since you’ll likely get caught by mud). 6 mile has made things a little muddy mid Valley as well, although the river looks clear at Mill Creek. Below town is good to go, however hoot owl restrictions…
The Yellowstone has been hot lately so we’ve been recommending 6:00AM starts. FWP has put a “hoot owl” restriction on the Yellowstone from Carter’s bridge down to the confluence of the Clark’s Fork of the Yellowstone. This means from Carter’s bridge down, there is a mandatory quitting time of 2:00PM until midnight. Above Carter’s bridge…
Fishing on the Yellowstone has been good lately, especially in the mornings. As expected, the afternoon fishing has been slower due to the higher water temperatures, but even then the fish have been eating hoppers in the faster water and shady areas. We’ve been seeing more hoppers this year, and if the wind is blowing…
The Yellowstone has cleared up from last week’s rain and fishing well again. Although this week has been on the hotter side, (a couple days even got into the 90’s), the fishing has still been good. Give us a call if you’d like more information or would like to get out there with a guide!…
The Yellowstone is finally starting to clear. There is probably a shot for a big one today, tomorrow and Friday could be even better. If you can make it to the Upper Madison or into the Park, those would be the spots to go to as well. The Spring Creeks are still fishing great with…
Recent rains have created a bit of tiger strip effect on the Yellowstone lately. Currently mid valley down is clear, with more mud on the way (from Soda Butte). Also keep in mind this weekend is the infamous “boat float.” Expect to see about 50 boats, rafts, and other types of watercraft putting in today…
