Spring Creeks are Heating Up!

I just got a great report from friend and fishing fanatic Doug Casey that the Livingston Spring creeks are heating up. He hit DePuy's yesterday and cleaned up. Lots of rainbows have already moved into the creek from the Yellowstone. Doug observed a few fish already establishing reds. Temps today are in the 40s and the days are getting longer. Spring is soon approaching and the fish know it!

Only a handful of trout were rising, but they were voraciously eating nymphs. Stick to egg patterns and midge larva. Doug hung quite a few on a pink scud trailed by a small midge larva pattern.

Fishing in the "creeks" should only improve as more and more large rainbows move in from the Yellowstone River prior to spawning.
