Yellowstone River - Mon, Oct 10th

We had some of our boys on Yellowstone up in the Paradise Valley yesterday. Fishing wasn’t very good for them. Even the Whitey bite was slow. The temps did dip down low the night before, which may or may not have attributed to the slow fishing. It was a chilly 28°F when they put on in the morning. It’s really odd to have the Yellowstone fish poorly this time of year and it shouldn’t last as the fish pack on the pounds for winter. The usual suspects for nymphs, rubberlegs with various attractor beadheads, Baetis nymphs, and similar fall fare. Both Baetis and midges should get going strong before too long, so don’t be caught by surprise by the first good hatches of the fall. Streamer fishing will also become a big player soon.
