Flows at Gallatin Gateway are 800 C.F.S. The Gallatin has been fishing extremely well over the past couple of weeks. Hatch activity is slowing a bit but you will still see some PMD's, caddis and Yellowsallies in the am with caddis activity in the evening. General attractor patterns have been producing the best result. The terrestrial fishing is starting to heat up as well and we have had some success with hopper droppers as well as some flying ants. You can expect to see a few rising fish throughout the morning and evening hours but you best bet is to fish all the water that is likely to hold fish. You do not have to find rising fish to have success with dry flies on the Gallatin. Your best areas for fishing hoppers and other land born insects is either south of Big Sky or here in the Valley close to town. Dry dropper rigs have been deadly in the canyon and as we hit the warmest month of the year many of the fish will move into the faster pocket water where the oxygen content is highest. Good luck on the water, the Gallatin is a great place to beat the heat of summer.
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, Peacock Anatomay #10-12, Hot Wire Caddis #10-12.
