298 CFS @ Gateway - The Gallatin River has been fishing okay to start the new year. Most of the fish have been caught nymphing with a big stonefly trailed by a zebra midge or egg. The valley has been the most productive as it see's more sunlight then the canyon. Still fish the middle of the day to avoid any slush.

Recommended Flies:

Rubber Legs #8-10
Delekta Bug DK Chocolate #8
YUk Bug Brown #6
Zebra Midge #16
Glo Bug Salmon #14

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
SH Bead Head, Olive #14
SH Red Copper John #14

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

Serengold #14

JR Streamer Black #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.
