The Stone is still hanging in there!  It looked like slightly less vis this morning than yesterday (could have been more clouds and early morning light) but it was certain enough vis to get the job done.  Most folks have been fishing in Paradise Valley or town since it has been more clean than down…

Today at Carter’s bridge we’re looking at 2 plus feet of visibility.  Unreal… The Stone is currently running at 7,810 CFS in town and fishing well.  Of course, the whole state of Montana is on fire right now with Salmonflies on the lower Madison, salmonfly nymphs on the Big Hole, and PMD’s on the spring…

Normally this time of year the Yellowstone is completely unfishable, flowing somewhere between 10,000 – 20,000 CFS, with absolutely zero visibility.  The last few days however have been a different story.  The Yellowstone has been running with CFS flows under 10,000, (currently at 7,730 CFS), with over a foot or more of visibility.  The reason for…

If driving to the Bighorn or the Missouri just aren’t in the cards for you, then you might think about trying one of the smaller creeks or rivers in our area.   The Spring Creeks have been fishing well and at least until 6/15 (when the PMD’s show up) they should remain relatively uncrowded.   Midges…

We’ve had a few calls asking about the clarity of the stone lately.  Depending on where you’re at, it’s been 2-6 inches of visibility, and although it has been dropping the last couple days however we don’t feel it is quite worth your gas/shuttle money yet.  Add 40-60% scattered thunderstorms in the forecast and our…

The river has come up quite a bit in town (2310 CFS), plus we have another steep spike up at Corwin (2,500 CFS).  We’re starting to see a few more sticks in the foam eddies (which is where all the fish are eating caddis) so you’ll want to be throwing 2X instead of 4X.  We…

The Yellowstone has been fishing well on top the last couple days.  Be sure to bring a dry fly rod as Caddis, March Browns, Baetis and midges have been coming off in good numbers.  The clarity is currently around 2 feet of visibility, but this will likely decrease as we have several days in the…

Yesterday we saw thousands of caddis on the water (as well as blue wings, March browns, and midges).  While the mayflies showed up mid morning, the caddis didn’t start until about 2:30 and got thicker towards 4:00.  The only risers we saw were in the big foam eddies, so fishing a larger (size #12) Hi-Vis…
