Right now the Firehole is fishable but extremely high in the Park. The clarity is pretty good and there are hatches, but some of the river is over its banks. The weather gurus say that cool nights are in the immediate forecast, so it is likely that the river will continue to drop and fish […]

Madison River Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 6/16/2011 The Madison is very high coming out of Hebgen and will remain so for quite some time. Cabin Creek is very muddy and will also remain so for a long time. Nymphing is the best option right now on this stretch of river. There are lots of anglers out in the […]

Madison River Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 6/8/2011 The Madison below Hebgen Dam is some of the only clear water in the area. Unfortunately Cabin Creek is blowing a tremendous amount of mud into the river a mile or so below the Dam and the river is very high right now. Fishing in this stretch has been […]
Yellowstone National Park Fishing Report 7/8/2011
June 8, 2011 – 2:34 pm
As of right now, there isn’t much to fish in Yellowstone National Park. Rivers flowing in the Park are setting new water level records as I write this. The Firehole over 1,400 CFS and needs to drop somewhere in the 800-900 CFS range to be fishable. Keep an eye on the river flows. When things […]

Madison River (YNP) 6/1/2011 The Madison in the Park is in pretty good shape right now. The water has good clarity (though it will worsen when the weather warms) and there has been a bit of insect activity in the afternoons. Nymphs have worked well when fished in the softer water on the edges and […]

Madison River Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 6/1/2011 Below Hebgen Dam, the Madison River is fishing well but the water is very high. 2,200 CFS is coming out of Hebgen Dam right now and Cabin Creek is dumping a lot of mud. Wading around is difficult at best so most fishing is limited to hitting the pockets […]

Madison River Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 5/25/2011 The stretch between Hebgen and Quake Lake on the Madison is fishing quite well but high water makes it difficult to get around. The river is currently at 1650 CFS. Hebgen Lake outflows will continue to increase as the lake begins to fill so expect to see the river to […]

Madison River Hebgen Lake-Quake Lake: 5/11/2011 Between the lakes has been fishing well, but it is seeing plenty of angler traffic at the moment. Cabin Creek is dumping a fair amount of mud into the river and the road below Campfire Lodge is still impassible due to snow. The river is at 1,140 CFS at […]
