3670 CFS @ Corwin - Thanks to the recent cooler temperatures, the Yellowstone is currently on the drop and clearing. As things warm up this week, keep your eyes peeled for one last-gasp emergence of Mother's Day caddis. Target the softer water along the banks when searching for heads. Otherwise, soft hackles and sculpin-style streamers can bring some fish to the net.

4120 CFS @ Corwin - There are Caddis on the Yellowstone River but it is pretty off color and rising at the moment. Fish have been looking up in the softer water along the edges, but this may not last long if the river continues to rise with the warm weather. If you head over, concentrate on the back eddies and pockets and watch for floating debris.

5470 CFS @ Corwin - The Yellowstone River has almost tripled in size over the past 3 days. It is pretty dirty at the moment but could come back into shape with some cooler weather this weekend. If that happens and things warm up again, we could start to see some caddis but it might be a short window to fish them.

1870 CFS @ Corwin - The Yellowstone River has a bit of color in it this morning but the flows have only risen a small amount. The fishing has been decent over there the last few days. If or when the weather straightens out, look for the fishing to pick up as well. Baetis and midges are around in good numbers with fish found rising in the foam pockets and back-eddies along the banks, especially on cloudy days. As the weather starts to warm up, look for the river to keep rising. Nymph fishing has been most productive and streamer fishing has been picking up as well.
