Current Conditions:
Water temps have dropped considerably on the East Gallatin, and no longer under hoot owl restriction.
The Month Ahead:
The East Gallatin is now a viable option for fly fishing with the cooler water temps and possibility of some good action with streamers. As we get deeper into September, the East Gallatin River can be a great place for fall Blue-Winged Olive hatches.
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
There are nice hatches, but the trout are very spooky, so be prepared for more of a spring creek experience in fall months until we get a substantial weather shift into fall mode. This is a different animal than the West Gallatin.
