Yellowstone River Fishing Report

Fall fishing is officially here on the Yellowstone! The foliage looks awesome, the whitefish are plentiful, and we have some good fishing weather lined up this week: partly cloudy and hovering around 50 degrees, (and not too much "W")... Streamers are a good way to swing big and go for the fences.
On bright days a double nymph rig is likely your most effective rig. You can try a mix of stonefly nymphs, baetis nymphs, and various perdigon nymphs in different colors.
Give us a call to book a trip! 406-222-7130.
