Reporting from the floatable section of the Lower Gallatin below Manhattan and the report is that fishing is RED HOT! This section of the Gallatin really does not see much traffic and the fishing in the Spring can be epic! Caddis, BWOs, and March Browns were hatching heavily throughout the day. A lot of refusals with offerings on the top; however, the Nymph was crushed throughout the day. Some decent Streamer action in the morning but the Nymphing set up was the prevailing winner of the day. If you ever want to get out and enjoy some fishing without a big crowd, the Lower Gallatin is the ticket!
