Old man winter has let up his grip for the time being around Bozeman Montana. With the weather forecast calling for sun and temperatures in the high thirties and low forties, we will have some great fishing in the area. A few close favorites that should shape up next week are the Gallatin River, East Gallatin River, and the Lower Madison River. Nymphing is the name of the game across the board this time of year.
Winter time fly menu is pretty basic, red worms and small Rubber Legs are go-to top flies dropping down to a small Midge like pattern. Zebra Midges, dark Perdigons, and Micro Mays are some favorites. When fishing in the winter make sure to focus on the deep slow moving water. Inside bends is a good place to start.
