Fly Fishing In Yellowstone, Southern Montana, and Around

Ended up taking a business meeting on the road through Paradise Valley and then on into the Lamar Valley of YNP yesterday afternoon. Pre-storm temps were relatively toasty – pushing 50 leaving Livingston right after lunch, and 42 in Gardiner an hour later.
On the way out a nifty sunset….
The Soda Butte / Lamar confluence is [...]

We have had more summer weather in September than any other month of the year this year. It should be nice and cool this time of year, not as hot as it has been. Down in the Park it hasn’t been all that bad, just not as cool as it needs to be. Things should start [...]

Things are still pretty tough over on the Yellowstone in the Park. Flows out of the lake are still up there; definitely not lacking water this year. I have heard reports of some impressive weed growth below the lake, so be ready to deal with that.
The section below the lake is the toughest on the [...]

There is still a lot of water in the Yellowstone in the Park right now. Flows are much higher than they have been at this time of year, over 1,700 cfs below the lake as of this morning. All the water does make finding fish a bit more difficult, but it is certainly manageable.

The Yellowstone has been offering up some of the best dry fly and hopper fishing that we’ve seen in a few years. The game you’ll [...]

Many thanks to reader Joshua C. who sent us this picture of a cutthroat he caught during a trip the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone in late July. Here is the story in his own words:
I didn’t realize its size at first. It didn’t seem to know it was hooked. Then I felt its first [...]

Like most waters in the area, the summer doldrums are starting to creep up on the Yellowstone in the park. There is still great fishing to be had, don’t get me wrong, but you are going to have to work a little harder for it. Flows out of the lake continue to slowly decline. All [...]

Reader Craig S. from Michigan was in the neighborhood recently and sent over some nice pics of the upper Gallatin and had this to say….
The Park section of the Gallatin tends to be a bit crowded right now so a friend and I hiked upstream via the Bighorn Pass trail last week to access the [...]
