The Yellowstone continues to be in and out of clarity as the weather brings both snow and 60 degree days. For the most part it has remained fishable, although there were a day or two last week that were pretty tough. Sunday, (4/20) looks fine with “green is good” water. Below the Shield’s has been dirtier, so if you go ask your shuttle driver’s or get eyes on the water you want to float to make sure the clarity fits your parameters. Streamers have been a popular choice lately, as has nymphing with a rubberlegs and beahhead prince dropper. There have been some caddis spotted already (but only in spots where hotter water has been hitting the river). Beatis, midges, and March browns have been the main hatches so far. Give us a call to book a trip or for the latest clarity / wind report. 1-406-222-7130.
