Hatch Status
Mostly cloudy skies today with a high of 74°F set up ideal conditions for Mahogany Dun and BWO activity
Conditions
Clear water and moderate flows have concentrated Yellowstone Cutthroats, Browns, and Rainbows tight along cutbanks and seam water. Mahogany Duns dominate midday, with steady Blue Wing Olives throughout the morning into early afternoon, moderate midges first thing, light caddis in late afternoon, and occasional ants midday. Approach from downstream and stay low in this gin-clear water, focusing nymphing on 2 to 4 foot depths along the willow-lined banks.
