Fishing on the Yellowstone is finally starting to pick up with the warmer temps, and bugs starting to pop. Dry fly fishing is really starting to pick up with caddis starting to pop on the lower river and blue wing olives all throughout the river. Nymping with worms, stoneflies, blowtorch's, prince nymphs, and hare's ears have also been producing some nice fish when no risers are being seen. Streamer fishing has been hit or miss but when it has been good it's been excellent. We recommend fishing slower seams right now with slower presentations and flies like mini dungeons, kreelex's, mini drunk and disorderly, sparkle minnows, bite snack sculpins, woolly buggers and balanced sculpins.
