Winter is coming in hot to the Bozeman Montana area! Fingers crossed for a long snowy winter to make for a great 2025 season! That being said there will be some winter fishing opportunities on Montana's Rivers in the Bozeman area.
The name of the game in the winter will be nymph fishing for the most part. Sticking with a fairly basic winter fly menu. San juan worms and rubber legs will be staple top fly patterns, we are dropping small dark perdigon style droppers of those tops flies. The canyon section on the Gallatin River will be a good nymphing option for the winter.
It’s possible we will see some sporadic dry fly hatches in the next month as well as the later half of the winter. Wait for the warmer overcast days before you dig your dry fly box out. The Lower Madison can be a good section for dry flies.
