Bozeman Fishing Reports
Date: 02/23/2025
Posted by: Toby SwankCurrent Conditions
We finally have some great weather in the Bozeman Montana area to get out and do some fishing on our local rivers. For the next few days there will be lots of ice breaking loose and floating down the rivers but there is definitely some solid fishing to be had. Nymphing is going to be the bread and butter but there will also be some Midge hatch activity on some rivers as well. Our favorite local options right now are the Yellowstone River, Lower Madison River, and the Gallatin River.
The nymphing menu remains the same, A small Stonefly nymph or red Worm followed by a Zebra Midge or small Perdigon should do the trick just about anywhere right now. We are still finding the most fish in the slow deep water. Inside bends are the hot spot right now. If you're itching for some dry fly action head over to the Lower Madison on a calm afternoon.
Recommended Flies
Red San Juan Worm
Black Pat's Rubberleg
Black and Red Spanish Perdigon
Gray Sprout Midge
