The Yellowstone is in runoff mode, dirty and rising quickly. With a still decent snowpack in the mountains, we should be in for a healthy runoff this spring. It is time to explore new waters- Spring Creeks, Private Lakes, and tailwaters have been fishing well.     Spring creeks are still seeing some Midge…

The Yellowstone looks great with plenty of visibility in the Valley and town.   No mud plugs coming as of yet, the river should hold out nicely through the weekend before coming up and getting murky again.  Yesterday water temps nearly hit 52 degrees and anglers were spotting a couple caddis here and there.  Today…

The Yellowstone is looking good for the moment.  We are hoping clarity holds out through the weekend.  With the warmer 60 degree days coming up we should see some caddis action.  There have been blue wings, March browns, skwalas, and midges out as well, so the fish have had some food to eat.  Give us…

Clarity has improved over the weekend although the Yellowstone is still off color.  Just above Carter’s the river looked to have a little less than a foot of visibility.  Before the cold spell anglers were just starting to see caddis, especially near the mouth of the spring creeks.  With the next couple days staying cold…

The Stone is on the drop in town today but on the rise still at Corwin.  Clarity is on the edge and most likely not worth it.  Mill Creek was spilling in some “chalky green” mud, so if you are going to try the river, it will be more clear above that today.  We are…

The Stone spiked quite a bit on the graph today at Carter’s, but looking at it in town it doesn’t look too much dirtier than yesterday.  Water temps were up yesterday which helped the fish bite quite a bit.  Reports from yesterday were good.  Looks worth a shot despite being on the rise, probably a…

Clarity is hanging in there so far but with the warmer temps yesterday and today we are expecting things to get a bit dirtier by Sunday / Monday.  At least a lot of the lower elevation snow has already melted which will help.  The river has still been on the slow side, nymph fishing has…

The Missouri has been a little tough lately, but still worth going.  Flows have been high, which means more nymphing and less dry fly fishing.  As water temps heat up however, expect to see the fish get more and more excited.  This year we are offering jet boat day trips if you are looking to…

For the best clarity you’ll want to head to the valley.  Carter’s to Sacajawea Park has good clarity, but after that Billman creek is making the town section pretty muddy.  From 89 down is even worse do to the Shield’s.  The spring creeks have been fishing well with the arrival of spring baetis.   On…

Things have definitely gotten a little dirtier on the Stone with all the recent rain.  Billman creek, which runs into the Yellowstone behind the lumber yard is making town muddy.  Above that you’ll find clearer water but it is still off color.  The Shield’s has been a mud factory as well, taking down low off…
