Fishing Locations

The Gallatin is a great option for fishing. With these recent frosty mornings Hoppers are no longer on the menu for fish.  Mornings can be a slow start with the cold water temperatures, so a full nymph rig is the best option until the baetis come out. Baetis emergers and dries continuing throughout the day and the afternoon/evening hours with rusty spinners and small caddis.  Smaller Streamers are also working well, try a tan sculpin or sparkle minnow!
