Plug of Mud? No problem…

The Yellowstone has a short plug that should be from town down tomorrow.  Around 4:00 the river was dirty near Mill Creek bridge, clearing at Carbella, and looking very clear in Gardiner.  A bank probably caved in somewhere, as the CFS on the Gardiner and Lamar didn’t spike too bad.  Anyway, from Gardiner to Carter’s…

Fly Fishing Yellowstone Park

Yellowstone National Park is one of the most underrated places we fish.  There’s a lot of water worth fishing within it’s 2.2 million acres – many of these places are hard to find and take seasons of scouting to figure out when and where they fish well.  The best of these places are not easily…

There’s Still time…

If you’ve ever wanted to catch the fabled salmonfly hatch on the Yellowstone now is your chance!  While other Montana rivers are more famous for this hatch, you’ll be hard pressed to find a thicker salmonfly hatch anywhere on the planet.  The problem with most years is that the water level is too high and…

Yellowstone fishing well!

The Yellowstone has been fishing very well the last few days.  The best action has been up high in the middle of the salmonfly hatch.  The bugs have made it all the way up to Gardiner now, but are scattered about the willows even as low as Mill Creek Bridge.  We had a couple clients…

Salmonflies heavy on the Stone!

The Yellowstone has been rocking and rolling lately.  This year the salmonflies blew up in a few places at the same time, there is a solid batch just above Loch Leven still, another above 26, and another above Yankee Jim canyon.  Along with the salmonflies we’ve been seeing a plethera of bugs, including goldenstones, yellow…
