Yellowstone River Trout Fishing

The Yellowstone River is now fishing well from top to bottom with nymphs, streamers and dry flies.  The river is still green, with visibility between 2 and 3 feet.  The river is currently flowing at 5650 in town. In general dry fly fishing has been more consistent in the valley with hoppers, nocturnal stones, attractors…

Salmonflies in the Yellowstone Park

We had a great day fishing inside Yellowstone Park fishing with salmonflies and goldenstone patterns.  We saw about 2 dozen naturals, many of which were towards the end of their life cycle.  The native cutthroat were definitely looking up for dries, (although we caught most of our fish on smaller size 8 rubberleg nymphs).  We…

Summer is here…

  The Yellowstone has been on fire this week, with big fish eating nymphs and streamers.  Now is a great time to get out and go for a big one.  The fish are still on the banks and are actively looking for food.  Our advice?   Make you fly look like the “slow kid at…

The  Yellowstone River is now fishing on a daily basis river wide.  While the river is not clear yet, it is green and the sub surface fishing has been good.  Over the past week our guides have produced many nice fish in the 20 inch range.   We are hoping to see the surface fishing…

Bugger Time!

As many of you know, the browns have been on the prowl, looking for larger “buggy” nymphs, buggers, and streamers.  Many guides are throwing darker colors which show up better from a distance, as well as some flashy flies like the sparkle minnow, tomb raider, or their own home ties.  You can get away with…
