Conditions : Gallatin River: Clarity Report Update: So as of Tuesday morning, the Gallatin is looking good, not too much dirty in the water, plenty fishable, so have at it!

With the rainy weather, clarity is going to be your first concern, after that make sure and not concentrate on grasshoppers - they don't like to smack big dries when it's pouring rain out, so until it warms and clears, expect it to be subsurface. When it does dry out and the sun shines go back to what was working before hand - the Spruce Moth hatch was coming off in the canyon - look for your best Spruce Moth fishing to be in the late mornings around 9:30-10am on (on the drier and warmer days that is). The canyon has been... well the Canyon... Crowded, fished a lot, tons of folks, lots of fish, getting a little tougher by this time. If you're out in the evenings, there are still some caddis around, in the valley the hoppers are around down lower towards Belgrade and there are still fish eating the chubby as there are a lot of the midnight goldenstones around still. For the time being with off color water - look below the surface with stonefly nymphs and rubberlegged ugly things with some flash and dropping a beadhead off the back (ummm San Juan Worm anyone?) and that's a wrap until the sun starts a shining.

About: - The Gallatin River is about twelve miles long from its origin at the confluence of the West and East Gallatin rivers to Three Forks, Montana, where it joins the Jefferson and Madison rivers to form the Missouri River. The river flows through a narrow valley consisting of agricultural and grazing lands at elevations less than 5,000 feet. The banks are primarily undercuts, and long, deep pools provide much of the fish cover. Except for the East and West Gallatin rivers, tributaries to the Gallatin River are limited to a few spring creeks. Water can be slightly turbid year-round due to the sediment input from the East Gallatin.
