Fishing Locations

 The flow is starting to get to big to walk wade unless you go up high. Near Absarokee you will want to float. The water temp is lower than some other rivers so it isn't as close to having the Spring Baetis hatch. This is a place to stick with bumping nymph rigs down the bottom along a seam line.
