Flows at Livingston are 7450 C.F.S. The river is in great shape and the fishing has been red hot. The Salmonflies are out and if you are looking to fish the Big Bugs you will want to head to the very upper reaches of the river. The bottom end of the big bugs is between 26 mile and Point of Rocks. The adults are upstream all the way to Gardiner and the fishing has been very good with the adults. If you don't want to head to the upper river there is plenty of other hatch activity to on the rest of the river. There are several different species of caddis, Pale Morning Duns, Yellow Sallies and several species of smaller stone flies hatching. Dry fly dropper rigs have been working well on if you are fishing the other hatches. Streamer fishing has also been very productive with large double bunnies and black conehead buggers. If you are floating the river it is best to stay above Pine Creek right now. Flows at this level makes for some very fast, hard to fish water below Pine Creek. The river does mellow out a bit below the highway 89 bridge but there is still some powerful water on the lower river.
Fly patterns include: Rogue Foam Stone #4, Terranasty #4, Bullet Head Stone #4, Sofa Pillow #4, Royal Trude #8-10, Royal Stimulator #8-14, Elk Hair Caddis #12-14, Royal Wulff #8-12, Lime PMX #6-10, Royal PMX #6-10, BH Prince #8-12, Rubber Leg Stone #8-10, BH Mangy Caddis #12-14
