The Boulder River near Big Timber is still high and not the best option for anyone who doesn't know it well and isn't a total expert on the oars. Keep checking-back.

The Month Ahead:
If you absolutely must fish the Boulder River right now, be safe and expect t work hard for every fish. Nymphing is going to be the preferred technique until after runoff subsides.
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
Dry fly fishing will pick up on the Boulder as its hatches get going after runoff. Like the Gallatin, the Boulder has extremely cold water and tends to fish well all summer. Terrestrials become very important over here later in the summer.
