8/30/22: spent the day fishing Gallatin River north of Big Sky. Unlike the wide open meadows south of town the north has more canyon with pine trees etc.
Yesterday I caught one fish in the meadows and saw only one rise. My overall rate of catches was low enough to really dampen the fun factor. I told myself that my usual blend of a little knowledge and a lot of persistence would eventually turn in my favor and today was that day.
I stopped at a gorgeous stetch of deep emerald water.
Gallatin River
Caught two medium fish on nymphs then four more on dries including a beefy rainbow about 15 inches.
Moved to another spot and got 3 more on dries.
Beautiful colors on this rainbow. No half hearted cutbow mixture on this one.
Headed to Yellowstone River below Livingston, MT tomorrow.
Sensational. Beautiful river and no other fishermen?
