Yellowstone River Fishing Report
CFS: 1570

Noah Riemenschneider, Ryan Mincey with a nice brown!

Fall is here and unfortunately around Livingston, with the weather brings little extra wind to the equation.  Keep an eye on the forecasts and the area you want to float.  It might not be a great idea to commit to a 10 mile float if you have to battle a 20 mph steady wind with gusts in the 40s. On such days wade wishing will be a better option as you can quit anytime you like.  

The leaves are past prime now but still pretty, and with a nice dusting of snow the mountains look amazing. The goal on the Yellowstone is often to catch a big brown, but even if you don't, there have been a lot of plump 15-18" rainbows on the prowl.

If the clouds are out and the wind is down be sure to keep an eye out for fish rising in the foam eddies as well as slower, even moving tailouts.  You'll want to have at least a few fall baetis (#18-20) and midges (#18-22) on you, aside from your streamers.

Give us a call for more info or to book a trip!  1-406-222-7130.
