The Gallatin is starting to shift toward her fall pattern. Pretty soon you won’t have to worry about getting up at 5 am to make it to the river. The really great morning fishing is starting after the sun is up and has warmed the water.
The upper river, in the canyon, still has a few Spruce Moths, along with caddis and more and more Blue Wings by the day. Last I heard, there were still a few gray drakes up near the park…
The lower river will show you some decent terrestrial action on the warmer days. Beetles and ants are working just as well as hoppers. Streamer fishing is really starting to pick up, especially in the twilight and on cloudy days. Several reports have been surfacing among my group of contacts about browns moving into the lower river. I am going down there after work on Friday to test this theory.
