Sunrise hit at 5:33 AM this morning with sunset rolling in at 9:17 PM, giving you a full Montana day on the water. No tide to mind up here—Yellowstone’s a free-flowing beast—but stick to the late morning through early afternoon for your best shot at hatches and rising fish, especially if the skies stay overcast or we see a pop-up storm blow through, which fires up the bite according to Dan Bailey’s fly shop.
The most action right now is coming on caddis and PMDs, with March browns poking around in the mix. Dry fly aficionados should reach for Hi-vis Elk Hair Caddis and X-Caddis in sizes 12-16, Stimulators, Purple Haze, and the ever-reliable Parachute Adams. Dries are picking up fish in back eddies and foamy pockets, particularly when you find a hatch stacking up. For nymphers, it’s a rubberlegs and worm show: stonefly nymphs, especially big dark patterns, have been the ticket in these pushy flows, along with Tung Jig Princes, Perdigons, and CDC Caddis Pupae. Squirmy Wormies get the nod for a reason—don’t leave the truck without ‘em.
If you’re a streamer junkie, bring the meat. Large, dark articulated patterns like Black Leadeye Stingers or Sex Dungeons, Sparkle Minnows, and McCune Sculpins are accounting for some surprise hits, especially from the bank-hugging browns and hungry rainbows waiting for the sediment to settle. Early risers have also found pods of smallmouth stacking up deep, and a few walleye in the 50s were reported last week near town, per Montana Outdoor.
The northeast park rivers—Lamar, Soda Butte, and Slough Creek—are still high and off-color, but flows are dropping fast. Look for those to pop open in the coming weeks, along with the classic Yellowstone cutthroat runs. Hot spots right now include the Carter’s Bridge stretch for big brown trout and the side channels near Emigrant for productive dry-dropper fishing. If you want a bit of solitude and a crack at numbers, hit the backwaters and eddies south of Livingston where caddis are thick.
That’s all for today’s rundown. Thanks for tuning in to the Yellowstone River report—remember to subscribe and stay dialed in for next week’s scoop. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
