The Gallatin has had a good week. Baetis and March Browns have been coming off and the dry fly fishing has been pretty good. Mark and I had a great evening down on the lower river by Manhattan a few nights ago, you can read about it here. But now things aren’t looking so good. […]
Gallatin
Yesterday, Mark and I just had to get out of town. The sun was shining, it was warm, and the walls of my office seemed to be closing in on me. Both of us had been working on projects for another business venture of ours. Needless to say, it was boring as hell. After some […]
The cooler weather and snow this week have helped the Gallatin, even though almost everyone I know has been praying hard for the return of 70 degree days and sunshine. Water clarity has improved quite a bit since early this week when flows were at their highest. We made a run out to Four Corners […]
Jake’s vintage jeep (1983 CJ-7, red, soft-top) turned 125K on the way down out of the Gallatin Canyon today. Pretty amazing vehicle actually – it’s had some nice engine work done on the original block and frankly runs like a top. The gas gauge doesn’t work, she struggles heading uphill into a stiff wind, and […]
The Gallatin, like many rivers in the past few days, is going up. The high temperatures (it was pushing 75 on my front porch yesterday afternoon) over the past few days, snow has been melting like crazy all over the area. The cooler weather this weekend should slow things down a bit, but it is only […]
Like a lot of people I know here in Bozeman, yesterday morning when I looked out my window and saw the snow falling, I cursed. And it didn’t stop falling. As of right now, I bet we have gotten between six and eight inches at my house. It is somewhat hard to look at all […]
Always a good choice, the Gallatin is perhaps one of my favorite rivers to fish in the spring. Mark and I were up there a few days ago, and the fishing was pretty good. The water was a little off in the deeper runs, but we were able to pull some fish out. With all the […]
Yesterday Jake and I needed to get out of the office and house to do a bit of planning and organizing about the site and a couple of projects that we have in the works. What better place to do that kind of thinking than along a river, and yesterday’s bright sun made it […]
There is a lot of great fly fishing water in Montana – most of it is pretty darned well known to those who frequent the area, some of it is not so well known. In addition to the Yellowstone National Park waters that we’ve been covering for the past several years at Best Fly Fishing […]
