Gallatin River - Thu, Aug 18th

The Gallatin is in good shape and dry fly fishing has been solid.  Fishing up in the canyon is great with moths and attractor patterns starting around mid-morning when the sun warms up the water.  Mid-day dry fly fishing can slow down, so try using a dry-dropper rig or just nymphing.  Hoppers have worked well down in the valley and in some of the meadow water in the canyon all the way into the park.  Ants can be a good choice just about anywhere on the river.  There are still some small caddis and mayfly spinners that trout are rising to during the evening hours.
