Fishing Locations

The Gallatin is colored up due to the recent rains but is still fishing alright. Small black streamers and bigger black nymphs have been the ticket. Swinging the fly low and slow through some of the deeper pockets has been a good option. A two fly rig is also something to consider as swinging a soft hackle behind a bugger will get you into fish. Above the taylors fork is flowing clear. The fishing up here has been consistent with nymphs or soft hackles. A partridge and orange or smaller purple lightning bug will pick up a few fish throughout the day.
