I am headed to Bozeman on Thurs. and Fri. for an educator’s conference. I will be able to fish both days in the afternoon. Any thoughts on where I should try. I am told the Gallitan near Belgrade is mostly private. Thinking about the Madison near Norris. I mostly want to throw streamers at big fish, and with possibly a hopper mixed in. Not real familiar with the area, as I don’t get over that way much, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Clint,
I would highly recommend you spend $50 and get a reservation on the MZ Ranch for one of your days.
Thanks to everyone that helped me out with a few spots this weekend, either with posts or the few PM’s I got.
I did pretty well. The upper sections of the Gallatin in the canyon towards Big Sky were pretty off color, and I couldn’t manage a fish there. However, on the Gallating after it ran through the valley a ways had cleared considerably and fished very well with streamers. Especially well when I was fishing behind bobber fishermen, for some reason.
Fished the lower Madison on the way home and did very good as well with streamers. I caught 2 fish that went 20″ and more that got close to that. As to this comment….
Hopper fishing I would say is done
I had to try it out, and I fished a hopper for about 20 minutes and caught two fish, one was about 16 inches. I think a lot of you would be surprized how often a trout will eat a hopper. It is a big food source that is hard for them to turn down. Never even seen a live hopper in the area, but believe me the fish will remember them.
