The Spring Creeks south of Livingston are an excellent choice this time of the year. Winter rates are still in effect until April 15th and more fish seem to be moving in from the Yellowstone River daily. After the 15th, the rates go up, but the fishing only gets better. Dry fly fishing has been decent for the patient angler. Baetis and midges have been out in decent numbers on the overcast days. Wind has been a factor as well. Nymphing has been excellent. If you head over, be cautious of where you wade and please stay off the redds.

Recommended Flies:

Amex #16
Mighty May Baetis #18

The Paradise Valley Spring Creeks are pretty booked up this summer, but if you're lucky enough to have one of those days on your schedule, the fishing has been consistently good. On the sunny days, small nymphs are going to be your ticket to success, but any cloud cover can result in some spectacular fishing this time of year. 

Recommended Flies:

Holo Flash Midge #18
Mighty May Baetis #16
PFD Parachute BWO #18
Brooks' Sprout Baetis #18-20
EZ Caddis #16

The Paradise Valley Spring Creeks are a great option this time of year. With many of the area rivers approaching (or fully in) runoff mode, the consistent flows and temperatures of the Spring Creeks provide excellent opportunities. Dry-fly action has been hit-or-miss depending on cloud cover, so be prepared to use small nymphs when the sun is shining.

The Spring Creeks are always a reliable option this time of year. Both Armstrong and DePuy's are reliably producing fish on small midge patterns, as well as BWOs on the overcast days. Trying some caddis patterns right now should also get fish interested in looking up.
