Your Constantly Updating Yellowstone Fly Fishing Resource
A surprising number of emails have come in this morning asking if it really snowed in the area yesterday - you bet your boots it did. Here’s a view looking southwest from Bozeman toward the Spanish Peaks taken about 0915 this morning. It was a little hazy but there’s a healthy dusting on the peaks […]
Wouldn’t ya’ know it – we’d be off fishing when the story broke yesterday.
The story goes that a fisherman near Hebgen dam on Sunday afternoon heard a loud pop and “a strange sucking sound”, and immediately noted a “frothing” in the water near the headgates of the intake tower.
The first to inspect the dam were […]
The Gardner in some respects has had a challenging year, given the floods in July (wow, now almost two months ago) that pushed a lot of silt into the lower river and killed quite a few of the wonderful resident trout.
We agree with the guys at Park’s in Gardiner that you really should leave the […]

Today’s pic is an […]

We’ve had a truckload of emails from last night and this morning asking about the weather for the Park and southwest Montana for the rest of the weekend and next week.
Those of us who have been urging Fall to move on in will be happy – if the forecast holds (that’s always a big if) […]
The Bechler is fishing very well for this time of year, particularly when you consider the shape the Park was in last year (very dry, still hot) about now. We’ve talked to a couple of parties that have been in the Cascade Corner of late, and the reports are very encouraging.
Terrestrials ruled the day as […]
