Fishing Report:
The plug of mud moved through yesterday evening and so far the rainshowers yesterday don't seem to have affected the river, drove over it at Manhattan and it's quite dirty down there but looks green and good to go up in the valley and in the canyon. Above the Taylor's Fork is almost always clean, fishing up there has been so so with mixed reports, nymphing mostly still. Caddis are coming off in the evenings and fishing has been pretty decent. We’re pretty confident in saying that the Salmonfly hatch on the Gallatin is done for the year. Down in the valley's it's mostly nymphing at this point still, eating a lot of princes, copper johns, lightning bugs, and pheasant tails. Also we've been doing well on caddis pupae, go figure since that's the mainstay of the dry fly hatch on the Gallatin right now.
