The upper Madison has been extremely busy lately, but with more and more anglers headed over to fish the Yellowstone there may be a little more elbow room. In general, the fish on the Madison have been on the heavier side compared to those caught on the Yellowstone up high. If you would like a…
The Yellowstone continues to produce some nice fish this week along with countless fish under 16 inches. We’ve had more doubles than we can remember, nearly three doubles a float or better. When will the frenzy end??? It’s hard to say for sure. The salmonflies are already above the canyon, (the bulk of the hatch…
Since it is Father’s Day weekend, FWP is allowing everyone to fish for free! The timing couldn’t be better as the Yellowstone is fishing better than ever. Get out there and enjoy it! 406-222-7130.
There has been an absolute plethora of bugs out there on the Stone right now! We’ve been seeing as many caddis on the water right now as we did back in mid-may during Mother’s day caddis. On top of that the salmonflies and goldenstones have exploded the bushes and up to Carbella already. Add…
As of yesterday the Yellowstone is back! We’ve seen good numbers of Salmon fly adults, Golden Stones and the Caddis have been nearly as thick as mother’s day caddis! The bulk of the bugs will be found between 26 and Loch Leven accesses for the next day or so. By the weekend Carbella down…
Usually we are fishing the Madison only this time of year, but the Yellowstone has been fishing well the last couple days. If you want a shot at some fat lake run browns on giant salmonfly dries the upper Madison is still your spot. Plan on seeing plenty of boats until the hatch has rolled…
The Stone has been dropping quickly, giving hope for a good salmonfly hatch this year. Give us a call for the latest report. 406-222-7130.
While we are waiting for the Stone to clear, (most votes are coming in between 6/15 – 6/20), we have been fishing on other rivers, lakes, and the spring creeks. Of all these options our best fish have been coming from private lakes. Now is a fun time to fish lakes as the bigger fish…
We have already had some incredible sight fishing on the springs creeks with PMD nymphs. In a few days we should start seeing dries, and they will be big. The first PMD’s (ephemerella infrequens) are relatively larger than their relatives that will continue to hatch through the summer (ephemerella inermis). The natural infrequens duns will be often…
