River Updates June 22nd, 2019Yellowstone River: 10,600cfs at Corwin Springs; 12,600 near Livingston, MT With the solid drop in temps this week, the Yellowstone River has also dropped a good amount of volume. We saw around a 4000cfs drop at Corwin Springs putting the river at...
Runoff is officially in full force. Water clarity on the Yellowstone and most tributaries is very minimal. Hopefully there are no other pauses in the snow melt so that the Yellowstone River will be fishable by early July. The weather has been consistently sunny and warm, with some...
As the saying goes, "if you don't like the weather in Montana, wait five minutes." The temps have dropped dramatically and there has been consistent precipitation the past few days. There has been lots of evening showers, in addition to light snow in the mountains. The drop in temperature has...
Early May in Montana typically means two things; snow melt and Mother's Day Caddis. Caddis hatches have been increasing in intensity but have been later in the day to evening rather than the classic mid afternoon. Fish have been very willing to take Caddis dry flies but you'd best be sticking...
The snow is starting to melt and the river is beginning to rise here in Paradise Valley. However, there's still a handful of days we think that you'll be able to get on the Yellowstone before it totally goes out. The Yellowstone continues to get March brown and Blue winged olives hatching in the...
Yellowstone River Update April 17th, 2019 Over cast days have been an anglers dream that last few days as consistent temps have brought on some great Baetis hatches. Look for windless days with lots of cloud cover to drive the hatch and have the fish looking up! We were able to get on the river...
Sometimes you catch the most interesting things while floating the river. Today was no exception. Though as April Fool's day goes, perhaps this one had a double message. I'm pretty superstitious and belief in the No Bananas In the Boat gig is for real. April Fools Day had been proving to be...
This last week we have experienced a considerable flush of all the copious amounts of low elevation snow. And its gone in a hurry! Middle 50 degrees and not a hard freeze at night has ushered in a big time thaw. Partly good, but also highly destructive in places! Middle valley areas were flooding...
Back on the water. It's been a long month! The entire month of February was one long arse below zero, snow filled, horrid month of weather. Perhaps one of the hardest winter months in recent memory! We maxed out at a whopping NEGATIVE 38 degrees the first weekend in March. In like a Lion...
Middle winter check-in. It's cold! Not much else can be said, really. Snow is piling up and we're experiencing the coldest weather of the winter so far. Zero, zilch, nada, why would you want to go fishing around here right now about sums up the scene. However, the snowpack for next summer's...
