: Gallatin River: The Gallatin has increased in flows after the storm. The fish are sitting in the seams next to faster riffles. The canyon headed towards Big Sky is our best option right now. The water is colder upstream before it hits the braided section in the valley. Nymphing deep mid-day has been productive with Perdigons, Blow torch, and Pats Rubber Legs. When the evening bite heats up and you start to see heads, throwing single dries (Sallies, caddis, PMD's) will produce as well as Chubby/Hopper droppers. If you see heads but don't see bugs, try an emerger as a dropper. CURRENT HOOT-OWL RESTRICTIONS: Amsterdam road to Missouri river, entire East Gallatin is on Hoot Owl Reported by: Montana Troutfitters |

| 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. |
