The Gallatin is starting to slowly come down and some of the small feeder creeks are starting to put clearer water into the river! Fishing around the mouths of these creeks has been super fun lately. As well as driving up and fishing above the Taylor Fork! Smaller flashy streamers like sparkle minnows and kreelex minnows have been some of our favorites lately as well as bigger Dungeon style flies on overcast and rainy days. Nymphing with large stonefly nymphs, worms, eggs, and small attractors like psycho prince's, perdigons, copper johns and caddis pupa have been working! It is also about time to start thinking about salmonflies. Orange Pats rubber legs have been working as of now, but a couple more weeks and the trout will start to look up for the big bug!
