Fishing on the Fly 10-28-06

It's. This is you're fishing on the fly report for the weekend of October 28. With a recent cold and snowy weather the fish are going deep to the bottoms of the pools and runs. Don't underestimate what a saint tip or sinking line will do for your fly presentation. In nicer weather look for betas to hatch and be sure to carry a variety of patterns and sizes as well as the merger's just in case. Browns are beginning to make their fall spawn and so are rainbows on the upper Madison in the park. The upper Madison is finally worth fishing again with lots of nice sized sponsors. Try an afternoon float from Barney to 8 miles or the upper stretches near $3. The Gallatin has been fishing well also especially in the valley of bait as hatch is on warm afternoons. Snipping is still the most productive way to go as fish have moved into their spawning beds and into the mouths of spring creeks. On the lower Madison the rivers running clear and the fishing is great use nymphs and streamers for the best action and b w o as if the sea rises. On the Yellowstone fished the channels and mounds of spring creeks for

some very consistent nymph thing with stone fly nymphs size 6 to 8 in May fly Nant size 6 to 20 or try a gold lightning bug size 16 18. This is the last report for the fall and K. GLT would like to think Montana trout fitters for sponsoring fishing on the fly. Until next spring we wish the tight lines and a great winner. It's.
