The Gallatin has been fishing good and should be good for the foreseeable future. We have all been hearing good reports of fish being caught everywhere from above big sky to the valley here in Bozeman. Fishing with nymphs has been the most consistent way to put fish in the net as of late and right now it is pretty tough to beat a rubberlegs or squirmy worm up top and dropping a pink blowtorch, inferno-gon perdigon, imp, hare's ear, or Prince nymph 14-16" inches behind the top fly. Most of the shelf ice is gone in the Gallatin valley and portions of the canyon.
