サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As of October 31st, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, especially with the autumn season in full swing.
### Weather and Conditions
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with cool nights and mild days, which is ideal for fly fishing. The recent cold front has brought some rain and snow, keeping the fish active throughout the day.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset is expected at about 5:00 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.
### Fish Activity
Brown trout are in their fall spawning mode, making them more aggressive and territorial. This is a great time to catch some of the year’s biggest brown trout. Rainbow trout are also active, particularly during the late morning and early afternoon when Blue-Winged Olive mayflies are hatching.
### Fish Caught
Yesterday saw good catches of both brown and rainbow trout. Anglers reported success with dry flies, especially during the late morning when the Blue-Winged Olives and pseudo mayflies were hatching. Streamer fishing also produced some heart-stopping strikes from trophy-sized fish.
### Best Lures and Bait
For dry fly fishing, natural-colored hopper patterns in tan, gray, yellow, and pink are working well. Attractor dries along the banks can also be effective. Nymphing with tandem nymph rigs, including small flashy flies like the Duracell, Frenchie, and Perdigon, is consistent. Streamer fishing with larger flies such as the Dungeon, Ditch Witch, and Gonga can produce big fish, especially on cloudy days.
### Hot Spots
One of the best spots right now is around Livingston, where the river flows through Paradise Valley. Here, you can target the top of longer and slower runs, as well as the banks, for feeding trout. Another hot spot is between Log Gulch and Split Rock, where rainbow trout are being caught using hopper/dropper rigs and streamers.
### Streamflows
Streamflows are currently well below average, making it easier to find trout in the deeper water next to shallow water, off riffles, shelves, and banks. Look for water that is 4-6 feet deep with some current but isn't too fast or pushy.
Overall, the Yellowstone River is in great shape for fall fishing, with plenty of opportunities for both dry fly and streamer anglers. Enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery and the chance to catch some of the river's largest fish.
