Finally fishable!

With all the late snow and cold temps around Bozeman, spring fishing has gotten pushed back at least a couple weeks. Now, the East Gallatin, my favorite early spring fishery, is already running muddy, because of the local snow melt. We usually get some great fishing between first warm weather, and the beginning of runoff, but the window looks to be very narrow this year.

I did make it out for a couple hours on Monday, and even in the chocolaty waters, was able to get into a few. It was just what was needed after the last month of chomping at the bit to hit a stream!

Same story on the Bitterroot and Rock creek. Hope runoff doesnt last forever.

I've been out 27 times since the first of the year - spring fishing can be tough, but they are there

Oh the magic of a strike and tight line, congrats!

Nice! Up till about 3 weeks ago, the Gallatin and East Gallatin have both been covered in ice, and/or ice jammed here in the valley. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to get out further away...I’m sure the upper Gallatin and probably the Madison have been fishing pretty well...
