We’re not. Too much paper to push at the shop. Too many animals to hunt. Too much cold and wind. Too darn lazy.
What about you? Hit one of the spring creeks? Drifted some nymphs through the deep and slow? We’d love to hear about it. Make us envious of your exploits.
Leave us a comment to let us know about your winter fishing successes or failures. Thanks in advance!
Well, it’s September and fishing has still been good in all the right places, though some days are a bit tougher than others. The fish seem to be favoring the Morrish Hopper in addition to some smaller patterns like these little guys. The Whitie Whack Attack has begun but the trout are eating too! September has thus far been a pretty fun one for people on the water so if you’re thinking about whether to fish or to golf, well…maybe do both, you Fun Hog, you.
Holy cripes has the river been hoppin’ this year! We’ve been seeing some nice looking fish, some of them pretty big, coming up to eat our hopper/dropper rigs in the last few weeks. Aside from a few bad storms putting the fish off, I haven’t heard of a bad stretch lately. So head on over our direction and we’ll show you our favorite colors out there.

Well folks, the secret’s out…the Yellowstone is fishing again! . With the river hovering just above 5,000 cfs in town, we’re getting better clarity for the fish to see (and eat) just about everything we offer them from above Yankee Jim to downriver of Livingston. Give a hopper dropper rig a try and see who eats in those soft spots they’re still hanging out in. Our favorite hopper is still Morrish’s with a King Prince or Yellow Sally underneath, but other combo’s are working great depending on the time of day. Head on in to the shop and we’ll show you the other patterns that the fish are keyed in on.
Slough Creek and Soda Butte are fishing well again too. Black seems to be working best, so grab our newest pattern for the park (it’s called The Tick and it’s a handsome little bug that the fish seem to be fond of), your crickets, your hoppers and drake patterns then head up there with your hiking boots on to get away from the summer crowds.
Downtown Brown Town
With the Yellowstone fishing better and better every day, we’re starting to see photos like this again from the river (nice brown, Leslie!). It’s still plenty high but big nymphs, streamers and even the occasional dry have started to work well. Some days are better than others, and the ratio of whitefish to trout isn’t what we’d like to see yet but we’re just happy to be on the Yellowstone again. So get out your tungsten, your King Princes, you streamers and big dries from which to drop them. Then head over our direction for a few more specific patterns that we’re using over here! As always, please be safe on the river!
