Sorry for the out of date posts. We are all back from our off-season jobs and will be posting much more often. I will try and keep it up to date this off-season as well.
The weather is going to be bad for the next few days with rain and thunderstorms moving through the area. Bring your rain gear and a 4 wt and let's head into the park. The Madison from the Junction to the Lake has been fishing ok with nymphs; a few PMDs and caddis are starting to show up as well. The Firehole is high but there are hatches everyday and if you know the Firehole you know it likes this type of weather. White Caddis and a few PMDs are around (look in the faster water for some big bugs! Hint, Hint!!)
Hebgen Lake is fishing with midges on top most days, the fish are cruzing the edges looking for them. If there is no action on top pulling Woolly Buggers with a small midge off the back is effective.
Gallatin River is blown out below the Taylor’s Fork. The park section is ok but I would wait a few weeks.
The Madison below the Lakes is high and off color. A big nymph behind rocks and close to the bank is your best chance if you go out there.
The Lower Henry's Fork is coming alive there are Salmon Flys from Chester to Warm River along with Caddis and BWOs.
The shop is having a sale on Salmon fly patterns you get 13 Salmon Flys with a box for only 12 bucks! Come in, stock up for the season and talk to the guys about your day.

See You on the River,
