Yellowstone River fishing report (4/5) by Fins and Feathers 8.11.20

Current Conditions

Nymphing in the mornings with small rubber legs in tans and browns along defined, deep current seams has been good on the lower river. There are a ton of nocturnal stones out right now and the fish will eat these active nymphs in addition to looking up for hoppers throughout the day. We like dropping a small rubberleg off an oversized Chubby Chernobyl as dry/dropper rig below town in the mornings as well. Afternoons are all about the hoppers right now and just pick your color as they all seem to work most of the time. Yes, you can also fish small attractor dries like Para-Wulffs, Purple Haze, and Micro-Chubbies with some pretty good results along current seams and drop-offs too!
