Transcrito
17 NOV. 2024 · As of November 17th, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some excellent late-fall fishing opportunities, despite the chilly weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Conditions
The weather is expected to be cool and potentially windy, especially in the Paradise Valley area, so make sure to check the localized forecasts. With the colder temperatures, water temperatures have plummeted, moving trout into slower, deeper runs.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:30 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing day, especially for those targeting the afternoon Blue-Winged Olive (BWO) hatches.
### Fish Activity
Trout have moved into deeper and slower runs, so target the top of longer runs and the deeper pockets adjacent to riffles, shelves, and banks. Brown trout, particularly large ones, are preoccupied with spawning, making them more aggressive and susceptible to larger streamers.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Yesterday saw a good number of trout caught, particularly rainbows and browns. The larger browns are actively pursuing smaller trout and baitfish, making streamer fishing highly effective. Nymphing is also producing well, especially with tandem nymph rigs.
### Best Lures and Bait
For streamer fishing, articulated sculpin imitations like Sculpzillas, Skiddish Smolts, and Zonkers are working well. If you prefer nymphing, beadhead Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs, and Rubber Legs are top choices. For dry fly fishing, smaller parachutes like the Purple Haze, Sparkle Dun, and BWO cripple patterns in size 18 are effective during the afternoon hatches.
### Hot Spots
The sections of the Yellowstone River below Livingston and up into the park are fishing well. The Valley Garden section of the upper Madison River, which feeds into the Yellowstone, is also full of fish and worth a visit. For specific spots, look at the undercut banks and tailouts of long runs, and the deeper holes near Big Timber.
### Additional Tips
Avoid fishing near redds or through skinny water as this is brown trout spawning season. Use finer tippets and fluorocarbon lines due to the low, clear water conditions. If you see BWOs hatching, try extended body BWO patterns or film critic flies. For October caddis, twitching a size 12 royal chubby or size 14 orange stimulator can be very effective.
With the right gear and knowledge, you should have a productive and enjoyable day on the Yellowstone River. Just remember to dress warmly and be prepared for the cold and wind.

Enjoy your day on the Yellowstone River
3 NOV. 2024 · As of November 3, 2024, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some excellent fall fishing opportunities, despite the approaching winter.
### Weather and Conditions
The weather is expected to be cool and cloudy, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s, making it ideal for both dry fly and streamer fishing. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been picking up with the cooler temperatures. Trout have moved into deeper and slower runs, as well as the bottoms of gravel bars and tailouts. Brown trout, being fall spawners, are becoming more active and less cautious, making them more susceptible to large streamers on cloudy days.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Anglers have been reporting good catches of rainbow and brown trout. The fall baetis hatch is encouraging pods of rainbows to feed actively in current seams and eddies. While the Blue-Winged Olive mayflies have not been as active due to the recent warm weather, their smaller counterparts, the "pseudo" mayflies, are still hatching consistently.
### Best Lures and Bait
For dry fly fishing, consider using extended body Blue-Winged Olives, film critics, or hatchback Blue-Winged Olives if you see the larger mayflies hatching. October caddis patterns like the royal chubby or orange stimulator are also effective. Nymphing with tandem rigs featuring generalist nymphs such as san juan worms, perdigons, egg patterns, and stoneflies is highly effective. Streamers like Kill Whitey's, Barely Legal's, and Sculpzilla are great for targeting trophy-sized fish.

Trout are looking for consistency in flow and food sources, so areas with steady current are key.
Overall, the Yellowstone River is in great shape for fall fishing, offering a variety of fishing options and some fantastic scenery with the changing leaves and early snows in the surrounding mountains.
2 NOV. 2024 · As of November 2, 2024, the Yellowstone River in Montana is gearing up for some excellent fall fishing, despite the recent unseasonably warm and sunny weather. Here’s what you need to know for today:
### Weather and Conditions
A significant cold front is moving in, bringing heavy rain and snow, which will finally push us into typical late fall weather. This change is expected to enhance fishing conditions significantly. Temperatures will drop, with highs barely reaching 62 degrees, and nights will be crisp, making the water temperatures more favorable for trout activity.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:00 PM. These times are crucial as the best fishing will likely occur during the late morning to mid-afternoon.
### Fish Activity
With the cooler temperatures, trout activity is expected to increase. The fish will start feeding aggressively as they prepare for winter. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of brown trout and rainbow trout, particularly in the deeper runs and tailouts of long sections.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
The recent warm weather had limited the brown trout run, but with the incoming cold front, we can expect more consistent and larger catches. Anglers have been reporting decent numbers of trout, especially when using the right techniques and flies.
### Best Lures and Bait
For the Yellowstone River, the following flies and techniques are recommended:
- **Streamers:** Articulated sculpin imitations, zonkers, and crayfish patterns have been effective, especially in the undercut banks and deeper holes.
- **Nymphs:** Tandem rigs with generalist nymphs like stoneflies, worms, eggs, prince nymphs, and perdigons are working well. Using nymphs with orange or pink beads can also be productive.

### Hot Spots
- **Near Livingston:** The river sections from Livingston up into Yellowstone National Park have been producing good results. Look for deeper runs and tailouts where trout tend to congregate.
- **Paradise Valley:** This area is known for its consistent fall fishing. The cooler and cloudier days here make it an ideal spot for dry fly fishing with BWOs and October caddis.
### Additional Tips
- Given the forecast, the river may get muddy for a day or two, but this should clear up quickly.
- Starting your day around 11:00 AM and focusing on the mid-afternoon is advised, as this is when the fish are most active.
- Dead-drifting Woolly Buggers under an indicator with a BWO nymph dropper can also be an effective technique in the rough water.
With the weather changing and the fish becoming more active, today is a great day to hit the Yellowstone River and enjoy some of the best fall fishing Montana has to offer.
1 NOV. 2024 · As of November 1st, the Yellowstone River in Montana is gearing up for a dynamic fall fishing season. The weather is finally transitioning into typical late fall conditions, with a major pattern change bringing heavy rain and snow, and temperatures dropping significantly. This cooldown is expected to kick in today, with highs forecasted to remain below 62 degrees, marking the end of the unseasonably warm weather that has persisted since late September.
The river's streamflows are currently well below average, making it easier to locate trout. However, the upcoming storm may cause the river to become muddy, depending on the rain and snowfall distribution. For now, focus on the deeper water next to shallow areas, off riffles, shelves, and banks, where trout tend to congregate due to the consistent flow and food supply.
Fish activity has been steady, with trout moving into deeper and slower runs and pockets. Brown trout, being fall spawners, are becoming more active and less cautious as they prepare for reproductive activities. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of brown and rainbow trout, with some notable catches on streamers and dry flies.
For dry fly fishing, the Blue-Winged Olive (BWO) mayflies are anticipated to hatch more actively with the cooler weather. However, until then, "pseudo" mayflies are still hatching consistently. Natural-colored hopper patterns in tan, gray, yellow, and pink are also effective, especially in the late morning to early afternoon.
Nymphing remains a solid option, with tandem nymph rigs and attractor dries working well. Beadhead Pheasant Tails in sizes 14-20 and BWO nymphs are good choices. Streamer fishing, particularly with large streamers on cloudy days, can produce heart-stopping strikes from trophy-sized fish.
Hot spots include the top of longer and slower runs, as well as the banks where hoppers can be effective. The Paradise Valley Spring Creeks and the upper sections of the Yellowstone River are also worth exploring.
In summary, today's fishing on the Yellowstone River promises to be exciting with the changing weather. Start your day around 11 AM to avoid the early morning chill, and be prepared for some excellent dry fly and streamer fishing as the BWO hatches and brown trout activity increase.
