  • Late-Fall Yellowstone River Fishing: Trout Tactics, Hot Spots, and Weather Tips

    Late-Fall Yellowstone River Fishing: Trout Tactics, Hot Spots, and Weather Tips
    Nov 15 2024
    As of November 15, 2024, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some excellent late-fall fishing opportunities, despite the chilly weather.

    ### Weather and Sunrise/Sunset
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 45°F and a low of 28°F. Sunrise is at 7:17 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM. Be prepared for potential wind, especially in the Paradise Valley area.

    ### Water Conditions
    Streamflows on the Yellowstone River are currently well below average, making it easier to locate trout. The water temperatures have plummeted, moving trout into the slow, deep runs and pockets, typically 4-6 feet deep with some current[5].

    ### Fish Activity
    Trout activity is picking up with the cooler temperatures. Nymphing and streamer fishing are the most effective techniques right now. Trout are actively feeding on stoneflies, worms, eggs, prince nymphs, and various generalist nymph patterns. Blue-winged olive hatches are still present, especially on mild, overcast days, making dry fly fishing viable in the early afternoons[3][4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For nymphing, use tandem rigs with beadhead Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs, and Rubber Legs. Egg patterns, especially those with pink or orange beads, are also productive. Streamer fishing is heating up, with articulated sculpin imitations like Sculpzillas, Skiddish Smolts, and Zonkers working well. On bright days, fish streamers under an indicator for better results[1][5].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best areas to fish is below Livingston, where the river offers a mix of deep holes and undercut banks ideal for streamer fishing. Another hot spot is the section near Big Timber, where the slower runs and deeper pockets are holding a good number of trout[3][5].

    ### Recent Catches
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of brown and rainbow trout, with some larger browns taken on streamers and smaller trout on nymphs and dry flies. The dry fly bite has been hit or miss, but those who timed it right with the Blue-winged olive hatches had some success.

    Overall, November is a great time to fish the Yellowstone River, with fewer anglers on the water and productive fishing conditions. Just be prepared for the cold and potential wind.

  • Late-Fall Fishing on the Yellowstone River - A Montana Angler's Guide

    Late-Fall Fishing on the Yellowstone River - A Montana Angler's Guide
    Nov 10 2024
    As of November 10, 2024, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some excellent late-fall fishing opportunities, despite the chilly weather setting in. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Sunrise/Sunset
    Today, expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-30s to the mid-40s Fahrenheit. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:30 PM. Check localized weather forecasts, as wind conditions can vary significantly between Paradise Valley and Big Timber.

    ### Water Conditions
    Streamflows on the Yellowstone River are currently well below average, making it easier to locate trout. Focus on deeper water next to shallow areas, adjacent to riffles, shelves, and banks. Trout are holding in water that is 4-6 feet deep with some current, as this is where food is consistently available.

    ### Fish Activity
    With the cooler temperatures, trout have moved into deeper and slower runs. Brown trout, particularly, are preoccupied with fall spawning, making them more susceptible to large streamers. Rainbow trout are actively feeding on small mayflies, especially during the fall baetis hatch.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday saw a mix of trout species caught, with a notable increase in larger brown trout taking large streamers. Nymphing with tandem rigs also produced a good number of rainbows and browns. The most successful flies included beadhead Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns, and Prince Nymphs, along with streamers like articulated sculpin imitations and zonkers.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For nymphing, use tandem rigs with beadhead Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns, and Prince Nymphs in sizes 14-20. Egg patterns and worms are also effective. For dry fly fishing, target the fall baetis hatch with extended body Blue-Winged Olive patterns, such as the Para Purple Haze or Sparkle Dun in size 18. If you encounter October caddis, try twitching a size 12 Royal Chubby or size 14 Orange Stimulator.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best areas to fish is below Livingston, where the river offers a mix of deep holes and slower runs. Another hot spot is the section from Livingston up into Yellowstone National Park, where the cooler temperatures have improved fishing conditions significantly. The top of longer and slower runs, especially where they meet riffles or shelves, are prime locations to find feeding trout.

    Overall, November can be a magical time to fish the Yellowstone River, with the potential for trophy trout and productive fishing despite the cold and windy conditions. Dress warmly, be prepared, and you should find some success on the water.

  • Yellowstone River Primed for Late-Fall Trout Fishing

    Yellowstone River Primed for Late-Fall Trout Fishing
    Nov 9 2024
    As of November 9, 2024, the Yellowstone River in Montana is offering some excellent late-fall fishing opportunities. With the cooler weather setting in, water temperatures have dropped significantly, prompting trout to move into the slower, deeper runs.

    ### Weather and Conditions
    The weather is expected to be cool and cloudy, with temperatures ranging from the mid-30s to mid-40s Fahrenheit. Sunrise is at around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:30 PM. These conditions are ideal for both dry fly and streamer fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been consistent, particularly with the recent Blue-Winged Olive hatches, although these hatches have been waning. However, the fall baetis hatch is still active on mild, overcast days, especially in the early afternoons. Trout are now holding in deeper water, typically 4-6 feet deep, next to shallow water, adjacent to riffles, shelves, and banks where there is some current.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Anglers have been reporting a mix of rainbow and brown trout, with the larger brown trout actively pursuing smaller trout and baitfish as they prepare for spawning. The river is known for its trophy-sized trout, and this time of year is prime for catching them.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For nymph fishing, tandem rigs with beadhead Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs, and green machines have been highly effective. Egg patterns and pink or orange nymphs are also good choices. For dry fly fishing, smaller parachute patterns like the Purple Haze, Sparkle Dun, and Brook's Sprout Baetis in size 18 are working well for the tiny mayflies. Streamer fishing with large, articulated patterns such as the Dungeon, Ditch Witch, or Goldie can produce heart-stopping strikes from trophy-sized fish.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots right now is below Livingston, where the river offers a variety of fishing options. The section above Point of Rocks is also excellent for dry fly fishing, especially with cool, cloudy weather. For those looking to target deeper runs, the Valley Garden section of the upper Yellowstone River is full of fish and is a great place to swing a streamer or fish nymphs in the buckets.

    Overall, the Yellowstone River is in great shape for late fall fishing, and with the right gear and knowledge of the river, anglers can have a very successful day on the water.
