Jan Axtell's report highlights excellent fly fishing conditions in Montana. The Yellowstone River is flowing at 6,970 CFS, offering fantastic trout opportunities with stonefly nymphs in the morning and a variety of dry flies in the afternoon. The Paradise Valley Spring Creeks are also thriving, with a consistent PMD hatch.

Spring fishing in Yellowstone Valley is thriving as river temperatures approach 50°F, awakening trout. Anglers can target rainbows with nymphs and dry flies, especially in mid-afternoon.
