2370 CFS @ Gallatin Gateway - Unfortunately, the Gallatin is running high, fast, and dirty right now. With the warmer temperatures this week, things are a bit blown out. That being said, this weekend should provide some cooler temps that may slow things down a bit. Overall, there are better options than the Gallatin at the moment, but you can still pick off some fish with larger stonefly nymphs as well as streamers thrown in the soft water along the edges.
Recommended Flies:
Pat's Rubberlegs, Black #8
Mini Dungeon, Black #6
JR's Conehead Streamer, Olive #6
Sculpzilla, Olive/White #8
20-Incher #10

2140 CFS @ Gateway - The Gallatin is dropping and slowly rounding into fishing shape. While it's still a bit high, the clarity is improving daily and fishing should pick up this week. Throwing nymphs and streamers will be the most productive, but keep an eye out for stoneflies and salmonflies, as they should start flying on the Gallatin soon.
Recommended Flies:
Mongrel Meat #1
Yuk Bug, Brown #4
Blackout Stone #6

3580 CFS @ Gateway - The Gallatin is still running high, dirty, and isn't the best fishing option around, at least on the lower stretches. If you do head that way to fish, be careful while wading in the runoff conditions and bring along some heavy stonefly nymphs. It's worth checking the river out above the Taylor Fork, however, as it sometimes stays fishable upstream of the confluence this time of year.
Recommended Flies:
Firebead Steely #6
Rubberlegs #4
Girdle Bugger Camo #6

2580 CFS @ Gateway - The Gallatin has risen steadily over the past week, with dirty water pouring in from the Taylor Fork. Wading will be difficult, if not dangerous, so be careful out there. On the upper stretches in Yellowstone National Park all the way to the Taylor Fork, however, the water should be fishable. Focus on stonefly nymphs and caddis pupa with your nymphs, along with big, dark streamers.
