Victory in the Valley…

The Yellowstone is really on a roll right now, (probably just jinxed it right there), but it seems like the big browns are on the prowl this week.  No doubt it takes a commitment and perhaps a little luck, but if you keep putting the hoppers and streamers in the right place you can expect…

Hogs up high

Looks like we’ll finally have a break from the zebra stripe mud plugs, (mud, clear, mud, clear, mud, clear).  Just in time for the weekend, the river is now clear and ready to fish from Gardiner to Big Timber.  Lamar Valley forecasts are calling for only 20% chance of rain each night with mostly clear…

Yellowstone fishing well

Looks like about 1-2 inches of visibility in town today.  If you’re up for a drive you can beat it by going below Big Timber.  It’s a little early to tell since the canyon in still in the shade, but judging by the color of the wave, way up high looks like at least 2…

DJ’s Big Brown

  Private lakes have coughed up some lunkers recently.  Lots of big fish are being caught on damsel fly nymphs, callitbaetis duns, spent spinners, leeches, and scuds.  Renting a sink tip line and reel might be a good idea now that the hogs are hanging out low during the hottest part of the day.  Ask…

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…

Doubles Galore

An amazing amount of clients have gotten doubles this week on the Yellowstone, smaller streamers, and inside Yellowstone National Park.  The Yellowstone is in perfect shape right now.  Mornings have been fishing quite well and on cloudy days, the afternoons have produced some fantastic dry fly fishing.  On the hottest days, mid day has been…

Happy Days…

CFS has been dropping quickly over here and the River is in absolute perfect shape.  Want to go for a hundred hits on big bugs?  Head up high… Want to get out and pound the riffles with rubberlegs and beadheads?  Try Pine to Nine.  Want to go for a hog?  Below 89 is finally starting…

Got Bugs?

Wow!!!  There were so many salmonflies flying above the Yellowstone tonight in Gardiner that several Park visitors were running across the high bridge in town, screaming as they bolted through the gauntlet of bugs, “Oh my God, oh my god, I’ve never seen anything like this before!  This is CRAZY!  Welcome to salmonfly central… Another…
