Montana Fishing Reports

The following report is by The River’s Edge:

261 CFS @ Gallatin Gateway. Fishing on the Gallatin is a pretty safe option right now. Streamers, dries, or nymphs are all in play for the most part. Some slow pockets on calm days seem to have a couple fish rising on midges. Nymphing is definitely the way to go right now, but dead drifting a streamer can be a great way to move a few nice fish.

GO-TO FLIES:

Jig Mini Bugger Black #10
Hi Viz Griffith’s Gnat #18
Jig Frenchie #14
TJ Hooker Black/Brown #6
Glass Bullet Olive/Hot Collar #18
