Gallatin River - Fri, Aug 26th

The spruce moths are still out and about on the Gallatin, but not as much as they have been. Searching with the spruce dries should still yield fish. Attractor dries are still a good searching option during the day. From what I’m gathering small hoppers have been producing good numbers of fish in the valley stretches; as well as beetles and ants. Nymphing, as always, is a reliable option on any stretch of the Gallatin. Lighter colored stonefly nymphs, with small caddis pupa or beadhead off the back have the best bets.
