Gallatin River - Sun, Sep 4th

The Gallatin is still fishing really well, although the spruce moth silliness is pretty much over.  You can still search with a big elk hair caddis of spruce moth pattern and take some fish, but you’ll probably do better with some smaller attractor dries like little wulffs, Purple Haze’s, and Parachute Adam’s.  Bigger dries might be a better choice if you’re going to drop a bead head off the back.  There have been some afternoon mayfly hatches that have had the fish up.  We can’t decide if they’re psuedo’s, or some sort of PMD’s, or both.  Whatever they are, small parachute Adam’s or PMD parachute’s work just fine if you get a good drift.
