Spring Creek Fishing Reports
Updated Apr 04, 25

Cool, cloudy, and snowy until Saturday this week. Good Spring creek conditions. The Spring creeks have been fishing well. Hatches should improve as we near spring. Midges have been hatching lightly throughout the day. Midge nymphs and emergers will be great options when the fish are eating sub-surface or in the film. Beatis are now hatching daily in the afternoons and fish can be found rising if the wind is low. Nymphing will be pretty consistent in the event that the trout do not want to cooperate and eat bugs from the surface. If nothing else seems to be working a Wooly Bugger can be a fun option. It is definitely worth having dry flies and floatant on hand if you fish the creeks. Rainbows are spawning so be wary of redds and avoid these areas. Leave these fish alone while they ensure the existence of the next generation.

To purchase an assortment of up-to-date, hand-selected flies for area Spring Creeks:

  • Select the Montana Fly Assortment below
  • Select the number of desired flies
  • Enter where and when you plan on fishing
  • Opt for In-store pickup at checkout

Montana fishing licenses are available for purchase online at Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and at Yellow Dog Flyfishing - Fly Shop (some exceptions may apply). If you are planning to fish in the headwaters of the Gallatin River area above Taylor's Fork (approx. 1 mile upstream); be aware that most of this is in Yellowstone National Park which requires a separate fishing license and is seasonally open to fishing according to YNP regulations.

The Livingston Area Spring Creeks have limited rod availability. Be sure to call and make a reservation before you make the drive.
