Flows at Livingston are 2750 C.F.S. The river is in great shape and the fishing has been fantastic this week. The cooler night time temperatures have the river nice and cool which is making for some slower fishing in the morning hours. The hoppers are the main game on the surface right now and the best fishing has been starting around noon each day. When the weather warms up look for the fishing to start to happen earlier in the morning and slow by mid afternoon. Right now it is the opposite so enjoy your nights rest and get out a little later in the day. Hopper dropper rigs have been the most productive way to fish but if you like to see the fish come up to the surface you can fish a hopper with a cicada or ant pattern off the back. Droppers have been producing a little better results than the dry activity but you will still see plenty of fish come up to the surface. The mid night stones are still comming off late in the evening and the fish definetly know what they are. Keep your hoppers on the larger size right now and as the stones start to taper off you will want to try a smaller fly, until the hoppers reach the large flying stage later in the month.
Fly patterns include: Royal Trude #8-10, Royal Stimulator #8-14, Elk Hair Caddis #12-14, Royal Wulff #8-12, Lime PMX #6-10, Royal PMX #6-10, BH Prince #8-12, Rubber Leg Stone #8-10, BH Mangy Caddis #12-14, Parachute Caddis #12-14, Molly Hopper #8-10, Marshmellow Hopper #8-10, Card's Cicada #10.
