Montana

Hebgen: *Not much has changed on the Lake since last week* - The lake should begin to start fishing better every day as the warmer weather starts to creep into the basin. Our famous large midges have been reliably hatching most calm days, with the occasional gulper taking advantage of that. Otherwise, its a subsurface game for now - leeches, streamers, and nymphs!!

#16 Purple Missing Link, #20 Low Water Baetis

Inflow to Hebgen Lake: 1516.3 cfs
Hebgen Lake Outflow: 1202.8 cfs
Kirby Flows: 1490 cfs

Temp @ Kirby: High - 49.8 F

Low - 45.8 F

** Flows as of 12pm May 29th, 2024 **

Upper Madison:

The Upper has calmed down and cleared up thanks in part to the recent cold spell. The warmer days will probably keep it considerably colored up this week however. Streamers have been fishing very well in both the wade & float section. Nymphs are as always very productive as well. We've seen quite a few Caddis flying around and the anticipation is killing us!

Flies: #10 Pat's Rubberlegs - Black, #16 Black OR Red Krystal Dip, #16 Olive Hot Spot, #18 Beadhead *OR* Weightless Shop-Vac, #18 BBQ Baetis, #12 San Juan Worm, #18 CDC BWO Comparadun, #14 X-Caddis - Dark Brown, #18 Purple Parachute, #6 Olive Peanut Envy, #6 Olive Mini Sex-Dungeon #8 Hot Bead Thin Mint

MRO Guide Jake Schilling & Client Connor Brooks with a rare treat for us MRO guides - A nice few days on the Missouri.

YNP
The Western side of YNP is fishing great!

The Firehole, Gibbon, & Madison are all fishing well despite the slight runoff with streamers and nymphs. There's also plenty of BWO's and Caddis on all three rivers, as well as the first signs of salmonflies on the Firehole. However, lets call a spade a spade, everyone wants to swing soft hackles! caddis-esque and smaller mayfly reminiscent bugs should work well, but don't be afraid to throw the bigger Part. & Green or Oranges!

Flies: #16 Olive Hairs Ear, #16 Olive Hot Spot, #14 Czech Frenchie, #14 Diving Caddis - Olive, #16 Partridge & Pheasant Flash Back, #10 Partridge & Green OR Orange, #16 Elk Hair Caddis - Dark Brown OR Olive, #18 Purple Missing Link, #6 CH Sparkle Minnow - Brownie, #6 Peanut Envy - Olive OR Brown

Flows:
Madison near West Yellowstone: - 750 cfs
Yellowstone below Yellowstone Lake: - 2020 cfs
Gibbon: - 201 cfs

Firehole: - 472 cfs & 62.6 Deg. F
Gallatin near Big Sky: 1710 cfs
