Fishing Locations

 The weather is going to be favorable this week, take advantage before the next round of storms return. Banklines are hikeable while water levels are at their winter lows. Start looking for fish in the dump out runs below a riffle. They are going to be podding up in these holes for the winter. Stonefly patterns should be plentiful in your box. This is one of the best lead nymphs on the Yellowstone all winter long. The cold nights over the weekend formed some slush ice. With warmer weather forcasted for the rest of the week, this should clear fast. The more mild temps may give rise to some nice hatches of midges.
