Fishing Locations

The Gallatin is fishing, especially above the Taylor fork and up through the canyon. The weekend rain blew out the lower river down from the taylor fork. Up top, This is the time to work your big rubber legs, mega princes, buggers, and worms. That being said, you will find a few fish on smaller stuff fished beneath a big nymph. Bobber lobbin is still the name of the game. Add a big bobber, add a few split shot, and chuck it into the soft water. The bites are quick so be ready for the hook set. Be really careful out this way, wading is difficult and the river is unforgiving!
