Fishing Report
Report conditions: 27 cfs · ▼ 2.8% 24h · ↓35% median
The East Gallatin is running low and lean at 27 cfs, 35% below median, with clear water and mild morning temps — none of the nearby shop reports actually cover this section, so lean on the bug life rather than their Gallatin/Madison intel. Get out early for the trico spinner fall on light tippet with small trico patterns, then switch to hopper-dropper rigs through midday as the low, clear flows push fish tight to grassy banks and undercuts. With no water temp readings available, fish smart during the heat of the day and consider giving trout a break if you notice any sluggish fights.
