Yellowstone and YNP Fishing Well

The Yellowstone has been fishing well the past couple of weeks. We apologize for the delayed report, things have been busy! Stonefly dries and rubberlegs have been the ticket in the morning (as well as any of the various tungsten bead “Euro” nymph droppers). In the afternoons the fish have been looking up for hoppers. Try fishing a larger (easier to see hopper) followed by a smaller hopper if you have had your fill on whitefish. Dead drifting streamers can also be productive in the morning, or even stripping streamers. Water temps have hung in there OK, although we have seen a couple days over 70 degrees. We have some much need reprieve due to the clouds and rain however. Bring your light rain coat if you are fishing this weekend, instead of throwing hoppers in the rain try the streamer. Yellowstone National Park has been fishing great. Green and grey drakes have been out but the ants and beetle bite has been hard to beat. Give us a call for the latest report or to book a trip! 1-406-222-7130.
