For all practical purposes the Yellowstone has now entered the stage for full spring runoff. With temps in the high 60’s and 70’s this week (and a little projected rain) we’ll be looking to fish the Spring Creeks, tailwaters, and lakes for a while. If you do choose to float be sure to check behind…
Clarity today (5/13 6:30AM) Some good news bad news. Good news is there are a lot more caddis this year than we saw last year (hundreds of thousands) so it seems as tho the caddis have recovered well from after the flood. Last weeks snow storm, while trapping people on Bozeman pass for over 12…
Brooke Bickhaus and Guy Thomas with a birthday bow! Photo: Gage Griffen Spring has been coming and going here in Montana. The good news from the rain and snow is that snowpack is currently up to 79% on the upper Yellowstone. The rainy/cloudy days have also been great for the dry fly bite (*depending on…
The Yellowstone is low and cold but starting to fish better CFS on the Yellowstone at Carter’s bridge is 1420, which means it is quite low to float in a boat. Launching a raft or simply wade fishing is a better way to navigate the riffles and gravel bars right now. The main hatch has…
Swinging a run in Paradise Valley last week. Fishing on the Yellowstone has slowed down lately. We have seen a transition from mayflies to midges. If you are lucky enough to hit the river on a non-windy day, be sure to bring along some midge dries and zerbra midges for your dropper. The browns have…
Lower DePuy’s view from 10/6 With more people hunting and less pressure, the Yellowstone and Paradise Valley Spring Creeks have been fishing well. We have heard several reports of good pseudocloeon (tiny blue winged olives) and Fall baetis on both the Spring Creeks and the river. The cloudy, less windy days have been best but…
Clarity 8/26 6:25AM The Yellowstone looks good to go today. We did have some rain in Livingston last night but it doesn’t not appear to have rained in the Park looking at the CFS graphs. The tiger stripes of mud should be down low now, so unless you are floating in the Big Timber area…
Clarity today in town, (8/23 at 6:32AM) It looks like the bulk of the plug is now between Pine and Pig this morning. The Pine creek web cam is looking good and green. The Yellowstone up in Gardiner looks clear and good to go. Give us a call for for the latest report or to…
Todd Barber enjoying the drizzle… Photo: Holden Russell The Yellowstone fished well yesterday for those who were willing and able. Chubbies and streamers have been the soup de jour on these cloudy, socked-in days. No mud as of yet, although the Lamar spiked yesterday, likely with some mud on the way. The Yellowstone in Gardiner…
Clarity in town, 8/9 6:34AM The Yellowstone is back to running clear again, with no forecasted rain in the Park this week. The water temps have dropped into the 61-66 degree range, which is always a welcomed change. Streamers were working while the clarity was off and the skies were cloudy, but now that the…
