Flows at Gallatin Gateway are 527 C.F.S. This is slightly above average flow and we have been seeing small plugs of dirty water comming down the Gallatin from all the rain. The weekends weather forecast is for dryer warmer weather with temperatures in the mid 70's and reaching into the mid 80's by mid week next week. This will bring back the terrestrial fishing that August is know for. If the skies are cloudy and overcast look for Blue Winged Olive and Psuedocleon hatches on the river. These same hatches will take place once it warms up but the hatches will be brief and unpredictable. The water temps are much cooler than normal so you may find fish in the deeper pools as well as up in the riffles. Hopper droppers fished in the pocket water is always a good bet this time of year. Don't forget your other terrestrial patterns, especially ant patterns on the Gallatin. Standard attractor patterns are also always a great bet for fooling a few fish on the Gallatin.
Fly Pattern Suggestions: Royal Trude #8-12, Royal Stimulator #8-12, Peacock Trude #8-12, Bloom's Parachute Caddis #12-14, Parachute Adams #12-16, Yellow Stimulator #12-14, Elk Hair Caddis #12-14, Royal Wulff #12-14, X-Caddis #14-16, Black Slow Water Caddis #14-16, Peacock Anatomay #10-12, Hot Wire Caddis #10-12, King Prince #12-14, Turk's Tarantula #8-10, Parachute Hopper #8-10, Flying Ant #12-14.
