Terrestrial fishing on the Madison has continued to hold up as the weather has cooled. Tan #10-12 hoppers along with small flying ants and beetles have done well. On dark days streamer fishing Sex Dungeons or Cheech's Leeches are always a good idea. Daytime nymph fishing continues to be productive as well with serendipities #16-18, pheasant tails #14-18,copper johns #14-18 and rubber legs #6-10 as the best patterns. In the evenings keep an eye out for small spinner hatches and dark caddis hatches. Lastly, a few spruce moths have been spotted throughout the wade stretch, so make sure to have some #10-14 spruce moth patterns with you.

The gulper fishing on Hebgen has remained steady. Fish are eating both callibaetis dries and nymphs (#14-18). For dries both the callibaetis parachute and sparkle dun have been effective. For nymphs the standard callibaetis nymph size #14 has been producing as well. The best opportunities to take fish on the surface is in the morning, prior to the wind picking up. Fishing with chirnonimids (#12-18) has remained very productive with ice cream cones as the best pattern. If all else fails, stripping leeches such as the Xmas tree or the black and gold (#6-10) will definitely turn some fish.

Nymphing remains best in the Box Canyon with #14-18 beed headed nymphs- pheasant tails, copper johns and zebra midges – as the best option. Throughout other portions of the river, terrestrials have fished decently with #10-16 hoppers, beetles and ants doing well, but reports indicate that terrestrial fishing has slowed a bit. Caddis and mayfly hatches can be found in afternoons/evenings, so having #14-18 caddis and spinners in your box is a good idea.

All reports from Henry’s indicate that size #14 and 16 Henry's Lake Renegades and #10-14 Mighty Mouses are working best during the day, and that the best fishing remains early morning. Callibaetis have been seen and some fish have been taken on callibaetis patterns. Small #14-18 pheasant tails are working well as the hatch thickens. Lastly, stripping/trolling ice leeches and seal buggers has been productive.

Madison and Firehole- The recent cold snap has brought these rivers back down to fishable tempatures in the mornings and evenings. Flying ants, hoppers and beetles are good dry fly options, but the best fishing will probably be found with small nymphs and soft hackles.

NE Corner- Slough, Lamar and Soda Butte continue to fish well from all reports. They represent some of the best remaining park options for strong terrestrial fishing. Make sure to take #10-14 yellow, pink and tan hoppers along with small black and cinnamon parachute and flying ants.

Gallatin River- the Gallatin continues to fish well with more and more Spruce Moths being spotted everyday. In addition to #10-14 Spruce Moth patterns,small ants and beetles along with #14-18 copper johns and baetis nymphs represent the best day time options. In the evenings keep an eye out for small caddis and spinner hatches.
