Fly Fishing In Yellowstone, Southern Montana, and Around
From the category archives:
In case there is anyone out there wondering just where the hell the Chi Wulff team has been for the past few days, have no fear: we are not going anywhere. This has been an interesting weekend (and a busy one) for a couple of reasons:
Work in the real world
The imminent closure of [...]

The Gardner is almost done for the year. While there is still some good fishing to be had, things have really slowed down. Flows are down quite a bit, forcing anglers to work the pools and deeper runs more than usual.
The upper river is done for this year. Down lower, keep an eye out for [...]

While the upper Gardner has been finished for a few weeks now, the lower Gardner is still fishing well right now. It’s mainly Baetis, nymphing late, and a small dark Caddis down low.
The Park’s guys are thinking terrestrials may come back into play this week once it warms up again – maybe, it’s going to [...]

Now it finally feels like fall. This morning in Bozeman it is in the 30s with a high of only 60-something forecast for today. Beats the hell out of the 80s and 90s we have been seeing every day. Fall fishing is upon us too, and the Gardner is no exception.
The upper river is starting [...]

The lower Gardner is still pretty busy from what I hear, seems like the river has seen a bit more pressure this year. Related to the road closure? Who the hell knows; visitation numbers are up for the entire Park this year.
There are still a fair number of hoppers around on the lower, though we’d [...]

The Gardner is having a good start to fall. Flows are still up there, almost 140 cfs this morning. All indications are for a good rest of the year.
Terrestrials are still the main item over here right now. Don’t go without a fair number of hoppers and beetles in your box. There are still come [...]

The Gardner is in pretty good shape for this time of year. Won’t be too much longer before the fall hatches start up and the fishing really gets good. It is hard to believe it is already the end of August. Where did our summer go?
The main menu item on the Gardner is hoppers. Fish [...]

Flows on the Gardner have come back up again in the past few days, back to almost 190 cfs. Yesterday, Mark and I were down in the park and it was raining very hard, as it had been all day. The heavy rain is going to bump flows up and might muddy the waters somewhat. [...]

Usually by this time of year the Gardner is starting to slow up. This year, while things are getting tougher, the fishing is still pretty good. Flows are much higher than they usually are for mid-August which means good fishing.
Grasshoppers are really working well. There are more and more terrestrials out, including ants, beetles and [...]

This is a good summer for the Gardner. There is still more water in the river than average, and it is full of hungry fish and lots of insects. All the rain in the area over the past few days has bumped flows up a little bit and muddied the waters, but it is certainly [...]
