We are often asked where and when we fish along the Yellowstone River over the course of the season. Obviously, there are many variables, such as water flows, weather patterns, and so on, that are very different from year to year and will affect our choices. We will offer our opinions of the best places to fish over the course of what could be considered an average year. Some months offer a wide variety of opportunities, so we will offer only our mutually agreed upon first two choices. Yes, we have had some minor discussions, and we each have reluctantly compromised on occasion in an attempt to offer you accurate selections.

This will bring us out of the tying room looking for the midge hatches.
