Even as spring slowly comes to the Boulder River, things on the Boulder are still cold. The fishing is not awesome, but it is not too bad either. If you do go....Nymphing with smaller patterns can be productive, but the water temps are still pretty darn cold for decent fishing.
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:
Until we get into April, the Boulder can still produce the next few weeks, 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.
