Fly Fishing In Yellowstone, Southern Montana, and Around
Posts tagged as:
Good news, bad news.
The bad: Snow yesterday put a damper on things around here, and it’s cold this morning. The challenge the next few days might be the sun – it’s not great for seeing a blue wing now and then and chomps down on the streamer bite.
The good: Check out the GF Tribune’s article [...]

Another short and sweet report from the Missouri today.
Fishing has been decent pretty damned good the past week; there have been olives in places but the typical approaches nymphing and chucking streamers have been working very, very well.
The river has been a ghost town for the most part; few boats and just a wader here [...]

This past week has been a good one on the river.
Air temps have been in the 50s in the afternoons, there have been a couple of days without wind, water temps have cooled over the past several days but are 50 in the flow out of Holter this morning.
Baetis and midges for the most part [...]

For a lot of folks who truly love to fish the Missouri, this is the time that they think about being on the water most of all.
It’s been a hell of a year water and weather wise, and after going from summer almost straight to winter, we’re about to get some of that incredible fall [...]

After dancing naked in the 90 degree temps a few weeks ago (I can’t tell the story) it feels damned cold lately in the morning, and the next few mornings it’s gonna be damned fricken cold.
We have been seeing a fair number of fish up on olives this week – fish are pretty much up [...]

Finally the choking grip of what seemed like the never ending summer has been broken and fall has managed to elbow its way into Missouri River country.
Like most of Montana we’ve been enjoying some nice cool weather since the transition on Wednesday – days in the fifties are a damn sight better than the mid-80s.
Though [...]

A fair number of the folks who fish the Missouri year round over here are describing the river these days as being stuck in a holding pattern.
I’d agree.
I don’t give a damn what the calendar says – as in it’s supposed to be early fall – it’s pretty much still summer over here with highs [...]

Yesterday we blew through Craig and down the Missouri on the way back to Bozeman from Calgary.
Looked for Steve’s boat but didn’t see him; it was pretty smoky along the river and in Craig due to the fire burning over on Holter. The river looked great anyway.

This may be one of the first weeks since I started writing here at Chi Wulff in April that I don’t have much that’s really new to say about the river.
Conditions on the river are still pretty typical for this time of year.
There are still Tricos in the morning; it’s not that tough finding sippers [...]
