  • Resumen

  • As of October 8, 2024, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some excellent fall fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Conditions
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 38 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 6:34 PM. Since the Yellowstone River is not a tidal river, you don't need to worry about tidal changes.

    ### Water Levels and Fish Activity
    Streamflows are currently well below average for this time of year, making it easier to locate trout. The fish have moved into deeper and slower runs and pockets, particularly in areas with consistent flow and food sources. Look for trout in water that is 4-6 feet deep with some current but not too fast or pushy.

    ### Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw a good number of brown trout and rainbow trout caught, especially during the late morning and early afternoon when the Blue-Winged Olive mayflies are most active. However, the larger mayflies have not yet appeared in significant numbers, so anglers are targeting the smaller "pseudo" mayflies and other hatches like hoppers and attractor dries.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For dry fly fishing, natural-colored hopper patterns in tan, gray, yellow, and pink are working well. Attractor dries along the banks can also be effective. Nymphing with tandem nymph rigs is consistent, but streamer fishing with larger flies like Dungeon, Ditch Witch, or Mini Dungeon can produce some trophy-sized fish, especially on cloudy days.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best areas to fish is downstream of LeHardy Rapids to Mud Volcano within Yellowstone National Park. This stretch offers good access and a variety of fish. Another hot spot is the section of the Yellowstone River near Livingston, where the river is lined with yellow-leaved cottonwoods and the surrounding mountains are freshly dusted with early fall snow. Target the top of longer and slower runs, as well as banks and areas off riffles and shelves.

    Overall, the Yellowstone River is in great shape for fall fishing, with fewer crowds and some exciting opportunities to catch both brown and rainbow trout. Enjoy your time on the water
