The river has been fishing well in the mornings, especially up in the Gallatin Canyon towards Big Sky. Nymphing the deeper runs with a Purple Psycho Prince or small Pat's Rubberleg followed by a small Perdition or Spanish Bullet in dark colors. We are getting fish to eat a variety of small attractor dries throughout the day as well. Spruce Moth patterns, small hoppers, and spinners in the evenings have all been bringing some fish to hand.
