Current Conditions:
The Boulder River is low and gin clear. There are a lot of trout in skinny water in tailouts, but when they go on the feed, they also move into the shallow riffles. The hopper action is improving down low, and there are still green drakes up high along with morning spruce moths.
The Month Ahead:
The Boulder River is too low to float, but it is wadeable, if you like walking and climbing over Boulders. The clear water and low conditions produce spooky trout, so making the right cast is always important
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
The Boulder River is a nice option in September and October. In October, some browns move up from the Yellowstone River to add some big fish to the mix.
