Been out on the lower Big Hole a couple of times so far this month. Flows are lower than normal because of our cold spring, but the water is clear and the browns are hungry. Should fish well into May.
The kayak gets me where ever I need to go upstream from the put in.
Thanks for those pic’s Mike. Those sure enough say ‘early season’. Already thinking ahead to August and our two week trip. I hear the snowpack is near normal in most areas out west. Hopefully, that’s what your seeing.
Have you been out on the East Galley this season?
On the East Gallatin? Well yes a few times in last couple of weeks. The Caddis have been showing up in good numbers around 10AM till 1PM. Unfortunately, the river is on the rise, getting a bit dirty so probably won’t get back on till July.

One of the better browns this season ~22in on a #14 elk hair caddis. Poor photo as I was juggling the kayak, current, fish, rod and camera all at once.
