Fall fishing is getting underway on the waters surrounding West Yellowstone. Baetis hatches and some lake run Browns and Rainbows are the bread and butter for September and October. This is also a great time of year to find some larger fish on the lakes in the area or have the last good hopper day […]

Madison River (YNP) 9/1/2010
There are a few (VERY FEW) lake run fish up into the Madison in the Park so far. Soft Hackles and Streamers are the best way to fish this time of year, as anglers are really searching for a needle in a haystack. Nymphing will hook an angler up with untold numbers […]

Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 9/1/2010
We are still finding trout between the lakes that are willing to rise to attractor style dries, especially when the weather is stable. Nymphing however, has been much more consistent. Flows are down below 900 CFS which makes it a little easier to get around. This is very noticeable when high […]

Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 8/24/2010
Fishing has been better between the lakes recently as the water temps at the dam are beginning to drop. Both nymphs and dries have been effective methods of finding fish. Fishing Ants and Beetles in soft water along the bank if a great way to temp some fish that most anglers […]

There are still a lot of Caddis just before dark. It takes a lot of hunting to find a decent fish eating them, but if you want some close by match the hatch fishing, the Madison is an option. Tricos are hatching in the mornings, but most of the fish feeding on […]

The Madison is still seeing some Caddis just before dark. Ants and Beetles can be effective in the morning hours. Mid-day isn’t the best time to be on the water right now.

Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 8/10/2010
Warm water flowing from Hebgen Dam continues to keep fishing between the lakes from being as good as it should be this time of year. Inconsistent weather has slowed the hopper bite as well. However, fishing hard and covering water with both nymphs and dries can yield some nice fish. Craneflies […]

If you are looking to rip Whitefish in large numbers, head between the lakes and get a good drift with a Crystal Dip under an indicator. A few trout may surprise you every once in a while if you are lucky. Tossing Wulffs and Trudes around is a better way to […]

Madison River (YNP) 7/31/2010
The Madison in the Park is still seeing good evening Caddis activity. Rising fish can be found almost every night for the brief time when the sun sets behind the mountains until it is just about too dark to see. Hopper fishing hasn’t been too fast paced in the afternoons, but can […]

Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 7/21/2010
We’ve seen some good fishing between the lakes as of late. There are a lot of Caddis in the evenings and fish can be brought up to a dry pretty much all day long. Cover a lot of water with a Trude or Large Parachute and you will be in business. […]
