Flows at Carter’s Bridge are right around 8,400 CFS, with water temps running 56 to 61 degrees. The river’s finally dropping after a wet spell, though visibility is still a mixed bag—about 8 inches in spots, so “hero or zero” conditions rule the day. If you’re willing to pay your dues, you might tangle with a fish of a lifetime. With a bit more clarity, you’ll see those cutthroat and chunky browns come out of hiding. Wade anglers, take it slow—flows are still pushy, but boat anglers are faring well fishing tight to the banks and in the back eddies.
Weather’s classic Montana early summer: highs in the mid-70s, occasional clouds, and a light westerly breeze. Sunrise this morning was at 5:34 a.m., and sunset won’t hit until 9:14 p.m., so you’ve got a long window to work the water. No tidal swings in this mountain stretch—just keep your eye on that runoff and cloud cover.
The hatch menu is loaded: caddis and March browns are heavy, so a healthy supply of hi-vis elk hair caddis, stimulators, and parachute Adams in sizes 12-16 will get you into fish. Purple hazes and skwala chubbies also deserve a spot in the box. Nymphers should toss rubberlegs, jig princes, perdigons, and CDC caddis. The squirmy wormie still pulls numbers in this stained water. If you’re throwing meat, streamer anglers are finding success with black leadeye stingers, sparkle minnows, and white home invaders—think big, dark, and articulated. Strip through seams and backwater foam.
Recent catch reports out of Paradise Valley include healthy cutthroat, hybrid rainbow-cutts, and browns—plus a few surprise whitefish. Up near Livingston, folks are boating respectable numbers with mixed nymph and streamer combos. Montana Outdoor just reported walleye stacking up in the 50s and smallmouth gathering deep, so don’t be shocked if you tangle into some bonus species while working the main river.
Hot spots this week include the back eddies and foam lines between Mayor’s Landing and Pine Creek—especially where side channels re-enter the main stem. Yankee Jim Canyon is fishing strong for those willing to brave the whitewater, and the long glides near Emigrant have been producing consistently during afternoon caddis flights.
For bait—if you’re swinging flies, caddis pupae, and worms are prime. Gear anglers, try jigs tipped with soft plastics or a nightcrawler drifted deep for a shot at those bigger browns.
That’s the Yellowstone wrap for today. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe for fresh reports from the river each week. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
