Yellowstone River Fishing Report - 9/17/25

We've had a bit of a weather change this past week with more clouds and rain in the forecast.  No major spikes on the Lamar as of yet but we'll be keeping on an eye on possible mud coming.  (We are confident we will be able to work around the mud, should any show up).

Now that the sun is back we are trying a mix of different nymphs than the usual suspects.  Ditto that for targeting different "types" of water as we've caught some fish in unusual spots lately.  Time to start thinking out of the box and serve them a slider or curve ball. 

The streamer bite is starting to come around as we continue to get cooler temps also, now is the time to start searching for the BIG brown!

For dries, keep an eye out for Hecuba, baetis, and fall mahoganies on cloudy days.  On brighter days stick with the usual suspects, hoppers, ants, beetles.  You might experiment with some different colors or patterns however, (to show them something different).  

For nymphs its hard to beat a buggerlegs followed by a blow torch, duracell, or jigged perdigon.  

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