Montana Troutfitters is Bozeman’s oldest fly fishing shop Since 1978

Jul 26, 2024

*Hoot-owl restrictions have been put into place above Hebgen Lake, from Hebgen lake to the Yellowstone National Park boundary; and from Ennis FAS to Ennis Lake. Fishing is closed in these sections from 2pm-Midnight daily.


The upper has been fishing well above Cameron but is getting warm down lower in the afternoons. Hopper-dropper rigs along the banks are tough to beat. Nymphing will produce when fish move deeper mid-day. Fish will be rising to PMD's, caddis, and sallies. Streamer fishing is always an option and will turn on when those storms roll through.
