The fishing on the Yellowstone has picked up quite a bit this week. Most likely due to the drop in water temps and also less fishing pressure. With less boat traffic on the river the fish are feeling more aggressive and less fastidious. Yesterday’s short Gardiner plug has already dissipated and the river is…
Dry fly anglers rejoice – both the Yellowstone and the Park have been fishing well with chubbies, hoppers, ants, and other terrestrials. If you’re on the river, focus getting long, flawless drifts (your rower will play a key role here). An appropriate twitch here and there has also been working well. It looks like the…
With kids going back to school we have seen a little less traffic on the Yellowstone this week. The bigger fish have been looking up lately and focussing on dries rather than streamers. Nymphs have been working well too, however the white fish bite has been heating up, especially on size #14-18 beadhead nymphs. Trout…
The Yellowstone has been fishing very well the past couple days and today. Part of this is due to the fact the Yellowstone was basically rested for about 5-6 days last week, however in addition to that water temps are down (62-67) and the cloud cover has fishing looking up. The bigger browns have been getting…
The Yellowstone has fished very well the past few days! Is it the change in the barometric pressure or the phase of the moon?? Who knows, but the fish have been looking up and eating well lately… (just in time for the mud). Today most guide boats went down low to avoid the mud in…
The Yellowstone has really fished well the past two days and the fish are looking up. With rain in the forecast for the next couple days we may be on the look out for mud, but so far so good! Give us a call to book a trip 406-222-7130.
Fish have been looking up and eating big dries this week. An ant dropper or attractor dry dropper has been a good way to fish the riffle shallows and stay out of the moss, particularly down low. There have been tons of hoppers above Yankee Jim canyon and inside Yellowstone National Park. We’ve also seen…
We had some heavy rain and even hail roll through yesterday afternoon. The fishing was excellent both before and after the storm, both on dries and streamers. The Lamar did slope up a little but didn’t spike as hard as it could have. Looking at the radar last night the worst part of the…
Today the mud was from Gardiner down to about Pine Creek, and finally to Carter’s by this evening. Tomorrow will be fishable down low for sure, with a slight chance of being able to fish way up high. We’ll know more in the morning – as always don’t hesitate to give us a call for…
