Spring Fly Fishing : BWO’s

Spring is Coming

Birds chirping, warming weather, baetis hatching, and trout rising are all promising indicators that spring has arrived in Bozeman. We may not be there quite yet, but after the last few days, we can feel it. Dry fly fishing reports have been picking up the last few days between the Madison, Gallatin, and even the Yellowstone. If you have the chance to get out on an overcast, windless day this week, odds are you will find a significant baetis hatch and trout eating these tasty insects on the waters surface. With dry fly fishing finally thinking about picking up here are our Bozeman fly shop’s five favorite patterns for fly fishing the BWO hatch.
