Yellowstone River - Mon, Aug 22nd

Fishing higher up on the river around around Yankee Jim to Emigrant has been mostly consistent with hoppers, ants and attractor dries.  The stretches from Grey Owl to Livingston has seen some serious fishing pressure which has made the fishing a bit tougher.  Below Livingston has been good with hoppers on some days and fairly tough on others.  If the hopper fishing isn't working you can get some fish by nymphing deep with stonefly-mayfly rigs.  Fish are more willing to eat hoppers on the better looking banks where the water isn't moving too slow or too fast.  Trailing ants behind the hopper can pick up some of the fish that are picky about eating hoppers.  Streamer fishing is best during early mornings or late evenings.
