Your Constantly Updating Yellowstone Fly Fishing Resource
Reports from friends and from the guys at Park’s in Gardiner suggest that there are much better numbers of runners in the lower river, and the cool weather should push more up over the next week to10 days.
Sounds like streamers and large nymphs (stone, etc.) are producing the most action, though more than one nice […]
The big question for this fishery today is how many runners have started to move into the Gardner from the Yellowstone despite the sunny, warm weather? We’re hearing somewhat differing reports – though clearly there are some fish moving up. Terrestrials are still in play for river natives and runners, and evening Caddis while a […]
With the return of seasonable temperatures, a little rain, and some nice cloud cover, the game will change a bit on the Gardner.
The team at Blue Ribbon Flies are reporting they seen and brought to hand some runners in the mouth of the Gardner already; seems a tad early by the recent warmer weather, but […]
With the unseasonably warm weather due this week, and it should be in the 80s near Gardiner, it’s still hopper-dropper time. A friend who knows the area very well said he’s headed to the confluence tomorrow to throw a hopper-dropper rig, and he’d heard from the Parks guys that it’s good up to the high […]
The Gardner’s July floods are old news, but the impact on the river remains. We still agree with the guys at Park’s in Gardiner that you really should leave the lower river alone until next year and give the survivors a chance to recover.
Brookies are still the game on the upper river, but only below […]
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 […]
The Gardner is plugging along this season; the upper is fishing pretty well all things considered, and we’re still in agreement with the Park’s guys that you should probably rest the lower river after the fish kill and flooding trauma of the early season.
PMDs are still around though waning, as are evening Caddis; shouldn’t be […]
Things haven’t changed a great deal since last week; if you missed last week’s post click back for comments on the lower river since the rain induced floods several weeks ago. Today’s pic is the Gardner - Yellowstone confluence.
Considering the crowds on the northeast corner’s more famous waters this time of year, you can still […]
Sounds like there has been a bit more fallout from the large mudslides that occurred on the Gardner in late July than we’d like to hear. There hasn’t been a lot of talk about this around, but there were large fish kills below Boiling River due to siltation, and much of the holding water has […]
We entered the Park yesterday at Mammoth as we had a meeting to make at Lake, and were very pleased to see that the lower Gardner was much improved after the thunderstorm induced damage last week.
This is such a pretty and productive small river, and an easy one to find some solitude on in its […]
