Fly Fishing In Yellowstone, Southern Montana, and Around

There are even runners now in the lower Gibbon meadow, though numbers will certainly improve over the next several weeks. Soft hackles and streamers are the name of the game.
Don’t forget that the road is only open to Tuft Cliffs – next year you’ll be able to get up river.

It’s down to the wire this week for the “old” Madison Junction to Norris drive – for decades we’ve thought of that section of road as the “Gibbon River Drive” given the delightful proximity of the road to the river in part of the Canyon.
Just five more days (counting today) and that section of road [...]

Just 12 more days of driving through the Gibbon Canyon on the ‘old road’; effective 17 August the roadway will be closed forcing folks to drive a bit further and enjoy some of the rustic beauty of the Park and surrounding neighborhood.
There will also be an expansion of the Gibbon fishing closure starting on the [...]

The Gibbon continues to shuffle along through the summer season, off the radar of most anglers headed for trophy water to the north, east, or west.
Not a lot new this week as compared to last – for the angler willing to hoof it a bit there are bountiful brookies above Norris, and still some early [...]

The state of affairs on the Gibbon hasn’t changed a great deal from last week’s report.
The warm weather has more or less made the river below Norris off limits for fly fishermen at this point in time, with abundant brookies and other feisty river residents available and interested above Norris. (Though a very early morning [...]

As the summer clock ticks away ever faster, we’re down to about a month of time left before the Madison Junction to Norris road through the Gibbon Canyon is closed.
Don’t sweat the additional driving time coming up – the greater Yellowstone area is greener at this time in the year that it’s been in [...]

The decision by the NPS to close access to part of the Gibbon River yesterday (map above) has prompted some commentary from a few in the neighborhood, though the affected section of the river has been warming fairly significantly on the more summer like days.
The briskly cool nights of the past few days have offered some respite [...]

Just because it will be harder to do in a few weeks we’ve spent a bit of time in the Canyon fishing pocket water.
Yes, it’s fun and no, there are not huge fish there. Personally I find fishing waters that don’t attract the ‘20/20’ crowd increasingly attractive. The Parks’ guys like Trudes here, though any [...]

The Gibbon has been drawing a bit of well deserved attention these days as well; in just a few short weeks access to sections of the Gibbon will change forever (not a big deal, but you won’t be driving right to the water in the road realignment section).
It’s attractor time below the meadows, with PMDs [...]

These days most fly fishing folk entering the Park from West Yellowstone relish their drive into the Park along the Madison, take a right turn at Madison junction, glance at the Gibbon in National Park Meadows, and head on to the Firehole.
The Gibbon is shaping up nicely, and deserves more than a fly fisher’s cursory [...]
