  • Yellowstone River Fishing Report: Trout Prep for Spawn, Hatches and Streamers Shine

    Yellowstone River Fishing Report: Trout Prep for Spawn, Hatches and Streamers Shine
    Sep 29 2024
    As of September 29, 2024, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the recent weather conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    The weather has been cool and rainy, marking the onset of fall. This has led to the river being muddy, particularly due to the inflow from the Lamar and Gardiner tributaries, but it is starting to clear up. Streamflows are below average, making it easier to find trout in deeper waters with consistent current.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 6:45 PM, giving you a full day to enjoy the river.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fall is an excellent time to fish the Yellowstone River, with big brown trout actively moving and preparing for spawning. You can expect to see plenty of Blue Winged-Olives (BWOs) hatching, especially from late morning to the afternoon. This is a great time for dry fly fishing, with trout sipping these small mayflies out of current seams and eddies.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    The river is home to a healthy mix of brown trout, rainbow trout, and the native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, along with Rocky Mountain Whitefish. With the current conditions, you can anticipate catching trout in the deeper waters next to shallow areas, off riffles, shelves, and banks.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For dry fly enthusiasts, presenting Blue Winged-Olives or small mayfly patterns like a Parachute Adams or Purple Haze in sizes 12-14 will be effective. For those preferring nymphs, tandem nymph rigs are still productive, but streamers are particularly enticing for the larger brown trout. Dead drifting streamers slowly in medium to deep water can yield some impressive catches.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the most scenic and productive areas is the section through Paradise Valley, where the spring creeks join the river. This area offers breathtaking views and diverse types of holding water, from fast pocket water to long, deep pools. Another local favorite is the "town run" section through Livingston, which provides excellent wade fishing opportunities once the flows have dropped.

    In summary, the Yellowstone River is in great shape for fall fishing, with clear water returning and active trout. Focus on the deeper waters with consistent current, and don't miss the Blue Winged-Olive hatch for some exciting dry fly action. Enjoy your day on the river

  • "Fishing the Changing Yellowstone: Mud, Storms, and Trophy Browns"

    "Fishing the Changing Yellowstone: Mud, Storms, and Trophy Browns"
    Sep 28 2024
    As of September 28, 2024, the Yellowstone River is presenting a mixed bag for anglers, largely due to recent weather conditions. The big rain earlier in the week has left the river muddy, particularly influenced by the Lamar and Gardiner tributaries, but water levels are finally starting to drop and clear up.

    The weather today is expected to be cooler with a chance of scattered thunderstorms, which can make the fishing a bit unpredictable but also exciting. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 7:00 PM, giving you a full day to get out on the water.

    Fish activity has been good despite the muddy conditions. Big brown trout are actively moving around, preparing for the spawning season, and they are looking for streamers. Dead drifting streamers slowly in medium to slow and deeper water has been one of the best techniques. For dry fly enthusiasts, the ideal window is from late morning to early afternoon when Blue Winged-Olives are most active.

    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a good number of brown trout, along with some rainbow trout and whitefish. The best lures to use right now include large streamers like a Dungeon, Ditch Witch, or a Dragon for those trophy-sized fish. For nymphing, tandem nymph rigs with smaller flies such as a Galloup's Jigged BWO or a Tungsten Wonder Nymph are effective. If you're looking to try dry flies, smaller ants like an Arrick's Flying Ant or hoppers like a Dave's Hopper or Gold Morrish Hopper have been fooling fish.

    Hot spots include the sections through Paradise Valley, where the river offers a mix of fast pocket water and deeper pools. The area around Tom Miner Bridge and Point Of Rocks is particularly promising, with its diverse holding water. Closer to Livingston, the "town run" section is a local favorite for wade fishing once the flows have dropped.

    Remember to check the current conditions and water clarity before you head out, as the river can change quickly with the weather. Enjoy your time on the Yellowstone River, and be prepared for some exciting fall fishing.

  • "Yellowstone River Delivers Stellar Fall Fishing with Diverse Trout and Hatches"

    "Yellowstone River Delivers Stellar Fall Fishing with Diverse Trout and Hatches"
    Sep 27 2024
    As of September 27, 2024, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some exceptional fall fishing opportunities. The weather is cooling down, with highs in the 60s and 70s, and there's a forecast of rain, which is perfect for this time of year.

    The river is currently flowing quite low, but the cooler nights have kept the water temperatures in check. However, recent rains have caused some mud to flow into the river, particularly from the Lamar and Gardiner tributaries, so the water clarity might be a bit off in some areas.

    For those looking to fish, the best times are usually around the late morning to early afternoon when the Blue-Winged Olive mayflies start to hatch. This is a prime time for dry fly fishing, with Stimulators, Thunder Thigh hoppers, and Parachute Adams being good choices. If you're nymphing, consider using tandem rigs with copper Duracell, purple Psycho prince nymph, or a BWO nymph under a hopper pattern.

    Streamer fishing is also highly effective this time of year, especially as the brown trout become more aggressive and territorial before the spawn. Dead drifting streamers slowly in medium to deep water can yield some impressive catches. Focus on areas with deeper water next to shallow water, off riffles, shelves, and banks where the current brings food to the trout.

    Hot spots include the sections through Paradise Valley, known for its scenic beauty and diverse holding water, and the area closer to Livingston, which holds high numbers of browns, rainbows, and native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. The "town run" in Livingston is a local favorite for wade fishing once the flows drop later in the summer.

    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of trout species, including big brown trout, rainbows, and cutthroats, using a variety of techniques from dry flies to streamers. The fish are holding in deeper water and near structure, so be prepared to adjust your tactics accordingly.

    Sunrise today is around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at about 7:15 PM. There are no tidal reports to consider since the Yellowstone River is a freshwater river.

    Overall, the Yellowstone River is in great shape for fall fishing, with plenty of opportunities to catch some of the year's biggest fish. Just be mindful of the current water clarity and adjust your strategies to match the conditions.
