For the last three weeks I have been monitoring the pulse of the Missouri River through daily guiding. The dry fly fishing and shallow sight nymphing have been really fun and producing freight train rainbows. PMD’s and caddis feed those fish as well as a jillion other bugs like little
Lately, it’s been a time of watching the USGS river flows and getting some mid May bonus fishing on the Yellowstone and Boulder. When the glass is half full a dry year means earlier than usual fishing and the glass is definitely not half empty around here. Mother Nature is helping

While the Yellowstone and its tributaries are running off there are some amazing fisheries about in their prime. In the Livingston area Armstrong’s, Depuy’s and Nelson spring creeks are amazing during this time of year. The first PMD’s are coming off, beatis are still there as are midges. Not to
It won’t be long before we shed the heavy layers and stick our legs in the rivers! Here’s a look at a June fish from 2013. It was a really good one…
