If you’re looking for a monster brown, chances are the Yellowstone is not where you’re going to find him this Fall, (late March through April is the best time to catch a monster brown over here). What you will find however, is plenty of healthy rainbows, dry fly fishing, no people, and one of the…
Although the Yellowstone has been tough for finding huge browns on streamers right now, it’s nice to have the river to yourself. If you are floating, having the first shot at fish all day long is key, so ask your shuttle driver where you can avoid the few other boats out there. We’ve been wade…
Like wade fishing? So do we, especially this time of year. The tributaries of the Yellowstone as well as other small streams around the entire state come alive in the Fall. Naturally, these kinds of streams are top secret “stash waters” with names like the “Upper Nunya,” the “Head of Lettuce Creek,” the “Tail…
Looks like a great day to fish today. Plenty of clouds throughout the day, 10-30% chance of precipitation, high near 60, and WSW wind between 12-22. Not to mention, with big game season opening today you’ll see a lot more 4 wheelers (and 6×6 bulls) at the gas station than drift boats! Looks like a…
The Yellowstone fished well this weekend, but not as good as it should have with all those clouds and no wind! Steve caught two 20 inch browns that I made him measure. I got a couple dink rainbows on streamers and aside from one fish almost jerking the rod out of my hand we didn’t…
Cooler weather and clouds have been great for the fishing on the Yellowstone. Not only are there more baetis and drakes on the water but the streamer fishing has also gotten A LOT better than last week. As with everything this year, it seemed like we were about 3 weeks behind, but finally we are…
Aside from the Yellowstone there are several other rivers that are fishing well right now, including the Missouri, Lower Madison, Upper Madison, Gallatin, Jefferson, Big Hole, Beaverhead, Yellowstone Park waters, and many others that shall remain unnamed. The Bighorn is still off color right now, so if you are heading over plan on throwing streamers until…
We had some great dry fly fishing yesterday despite the bright and sunny weather. There were plenty of small baetis on the water, a few hecuba drakes, and lots of rising fish in the foam eddies and slower foam lines. We got one fish on a hopper but it was clear that more fish…
The recent change in weather has brought on some great fishing lately. Those willing to put up with some ripping wind (and plenty of rain) on the Yellowstone have been rewarded with several 20+ inch browns. Big fish are looking up (had a big ‘ole brown eat a large thill indicator two nights ago) but…
