Finally, the forecast shows something that we want to see!  From tomorrow on through the rest of the week temperatures are going to come down quite a bit and there is a possibility of rain and/or snow.  The fall weather is going to kick things into high gear on the rivers.

BWOs are the main hatch on the Gallatin.  They are going to only be more and more prolific when the cold gets here.  These little guys like the worst weather days; think cold and rainy.  Bring a coat.  The BWOs can be found on the entire river, but I have heard reports that the canyon is the best for them.

You might still find some terrestrials in the middle of the day down on the lower river.  They are not going to last much longer, so if you want to fish hoppers, then get out either today or tomorrow.  Nymphing with soft hackles or anything with a bead head has been pretty productive.  Streamer fishing has been decent in the mornings and on cloudy days.
