A little warmer than last weekend, but still not a very good option for at least a few more months. If you do go....Nymphing smaller patterns can be productive, but ice will become a persistent problem in the near future.
Don't expect things to get going until late morning or mid-day as the water in the Boulder River is running low, clear, and cold this time of year. Winter is settling in on the Boulder River the trout follow suit by not starting their daily feeding window till at least 10 AM or even as late as Noon or 1 PM.
The Month Ahead:
Cold, clear, and low and just better places to go fishing right now like the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks near Livingston and Bozeman.
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
For the rest of February and March, it can still produce, but there will be better options in the area until mid-April when the Boulder River comes back on the menu as a good option for fishing.
