Gallatin River - view archive
4/21/2006 :: Reported by Gallatin River Lodge
The Gallatin went off color on Easter but is coming down nicely now and is fishing well. Visibility today was a few feet and the fish were taking larger stonefly nymphs with small pheasant tail trailers. Keep an eye out for blue winged olives ... [more]
Gallatin River - North of Yellowstone - view archive
9/30/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
The Taylor’s Fork has been flowing dirty on and off throughout the week. When the Gallatin has reduced clarity we’ve had some very good nymphing with stonefly nymphs and San Juan Worms. Baetis hatches have brought fish up to the ... [more]
9/16/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Anglers on the Gallatin are still pounding up a few fish on hoppers by cover a lot of water and getting long dead drifts, but it is beginning to be time to change gears. Fall nymphing and Baetis fishing and will dominate the techniques on the ... [more]
Gibbon River - view archive
5/26/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
With relatively low flows the Gibbon is in as fine as shape as we have seen this time of year for a long time. While the Firehole and Madison are more fertile and put out more bugs, the Gibbon holds its own as a fun fishery in the early season. The ... [more]
10/1/2006 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
As October begins, there are increasing numbers of lake fish moving up the Gibbon from the Madison. Below the falls, nymphing has been the most consistent way to find these fish. Deeper pools are fairly spread out, so it pays to skip over shallow ... [more]
Hebgen Lake - view archive
9/16/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Callibaetis fishing on Hebgen has slowed down for the season. A few intrepid anglers willing to brave the cool mornings have had luck bobbing Chironomids or stripping buggers in the lake. Extremely weedy conditions make stripping streamers a bit of ... [more]
8/21/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Gulper fishing on Hebgen is an every morning occurrence. Chasing heads on the surface is never easy and after a summer of intense lessons, Hebgen’s browns and bows don’t fall victim to cheap imitation or lousy presentation. Luckily, there are ... [more]
Lamar River - view archive
9/16/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
One positive of our bright stable weather has been that the Lamar and Soda Butte have maintained their clarity and are both fishing very well. Soda Butte is getting some Drakes as well as small pale Baetis in 20-22’s. The Lamar’s hatches have ... [more]
8/21/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
2:00 PM fishing closures are set to end on 8/22. Recent rains have once again muddied the waters of these great fisheries, but they are beginning to clear. Once clear expect the fishing to pick right up again. Small terrestrials and Baetis ... [more]
Madison River - Hebgen Dam to Quake Lake - view archive
9/30/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Flows from Hebgen Dam are right around 670 CFS for the second week in a row. We’ve had some very good fishing in this stretch of the Madison at times and at other times it has been slow. Covering different types of water, from the more traditional ... [more]
9/16/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Flows out of Hebgen Dam have been a stable 850 CFS for a while now. Insect activity has made for a little bit of a dry fly fishing resurgence with attractors, but we are finding most of our fish on nymphs. Silli Leg Stones have accounted for a good ... [more]
Madison River - Lyon's Bridge to Ennis - view archive
9/30/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Anglers in the float section are finding success with similar flies that are used in the water upriver. In addition to the small nymphs, Silli Leg Stones and San Juan Worms have been effective when dead drifted. Pounding the banks with streamers ... [more]
9/16/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Fishing in the float section has been best with nymphs lately, though ants have occasionally made a late day appearance bringing trout to the surface. Deeply dead drifting droppers in a two fly rig produce the largest number of fish of any way we ... [more]
Madison River - Quake Lake to Lyon's Bridge - view archive
9/30/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Though we aren’t finding a lot of fish eating dries on the wade section right now, there has been some very good fishing with nymphs. As a bonus there are far less anglers fishing here than between the lakes. Small nymphs such as $3 Dips, ... [more]
9/16/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Fishing in the wade section has been pretty darn good, but the fish have been most responsive to nymphs. Dry fly purists haven’t had a whole lot of success blind fishing hoppers or attractors. There are some fish rising to Baetis however and ... [more]
Madison River - Yellowstone Park Section - view archive
9/30/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Fish numbers continue to increase in the Park as more fish swim up from Hebgen Lake into the Madison. Anglers still aren’t catching a ton of fish, but enough fish are being found to keep things interesting. As the water is lower than in previous ... [more]
9/16/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Bright weather has slowed the fishing for lake-run browns and rainbows entering the Madison in the Park. Nymph fisherman are finding a few fish with San Juan Worms, Stonefly Nymphs and Pheasant Tails, but for the most part fishing has yet to really ... [more]
Quake Lake - view archive
5/26/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Quake is pretty darn clear and has been kicking out the midges. Weary anglers driving past Quake in the evenings are often astounded by the number of rising fish, provided the lake is not swept with wind. Once again these fish are best tempted by ... [more]
9/24/2006 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Nasty weather only helps the streamer bite on Quake. Baitfish patterns are the best thing for finding large trout. Fish around rocks and the tons of tree cover in the lake where trout are positioned to ambush prey. ... [more]
Slough Creek - view archive
9/16/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Drakes have been the ticket up on Slough, not only for the fish, but for the fisherman as well. When these big mayflies are on the water, fishing has been good with dry emerger and floating nymph patterns. The hatches aren’t often thick, but a few ... [more]
8/21/2007 :: Reported by Madison River Outfitters
Slough’s fishing closure will end on 8/22/07 making hiking far up river to the second and third meadows far more feasible. Fishing has been very good on Slough as its Cutthroat have been responsive to hoppers when the wind has come up. Sparse ... [more]
