It seems the local and private lakes in our area have taken a turn – for the better this week! With cooler temps through the rest of the Fall we expect to see more fish cruising the edges rather than hanging in deep, uncharted waters. To top it off, most all of the fishing has…
Of course if we had our pick, we’d want to be fishing streamers on a cloudy day – but sometimes that simply isn’t in the cards. If you are faced with a bright day your best shot for numbers is going to be nymph fishing, or at least dry/dropper. If you are OK with catching…
Both the Yellowstone and Madison have been fishing well the past few days. If you are thinking the Madison, both the Upper and Lower have been producing some great browns. If you are thinking the Yellowstone, mid-valley has had less pressure lately, as it has been pretty low. Looks like we have some sunny…
Clarity in the Valley is going to be better today than town down. We had boats way up high yesterday (Carbella) and the clarity was good for nymphing and streamers. Today the clarity should be even better. Give us a call for a report… 406-222-7130.
With a murky Yellowstone the past couple days we’ve also been sending some trips to the Madison and it has been fishing very well. Streamers and nymphs have been the main methods of attack, especially if you are targeting larger trout. There has been some dry fly action along the edges for smaller fish as…
Recent rain has muddied up 6 mile creek (near Emigrant) as well as brought some rain to the Lamar Valley for the next couple days we will be moving around the mud. Give us a call to find out where it is or book a trip. 406-222-7130…
CFS on the Yellowstone is currently around 1600, which is quite low for this time of year. The good news is that water temps have been low (currently 56-62). Another advantage of low water is that the guides have a better idea on where the fish are holding and where they are not holding. Fishing…
The Yellowstone has been kicking out some nice browns lately. Most of these have been caught on streamer patterns but a handful of nice fish have been caught on hoppers, stonefly dries, attractor dries, and nymphs. The weather forecast is looking great for this weekend and into next week. Give us a call to book…
While hoppers and chubbies are still the go to, the streamer bite is starting to get a little more traction over here, especially with the recent cloud cover and cooler weather/water temps. We have a few new custom patterns at the shop as well as some old favorites which are sure to get some looks….
Hoppers have been working well for a while now, typically fished in the smaller sizes (#10-12). Now that the hoppers have had a chance to grow all summer we’ve been fishing larger hoppers, (#6-8) especially in heavier/faster water located below waves and rapids. Perhaps the fish look up and see these larger hoppers and chubbies…
