Current Conditions:
The Boulder River is low and gin clear. Water temps are still good since it drains the highest mountains in the state but expect spooky trout. There are a lot of trout in skinny water in tail outs but when the 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 can be a good option through July. It will get too low to float here very soon, but then it is wadeable, if you like walking and climbing over Boulders....The Boulder should fish well into August with nice cold water temps keeping trout happy. The clear water and low conditions produce spooky trout some making the right cast is always important
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
The Boulder is a nice option in August and September. In October some browns move up from the Yellowstone to add some big fish to the mix.
