Fishing Conditions & Comments:
Fishing the Livingston spring creeks is a great choice this time of year. Rod fees are only $75 per person per day.

Fishing midges on top can be productive yet challenging. Fishing 5x-7x tippet with a pinch on indicator 18"-24" above a nymph is very productive in shallow water, otherwise place your indicator up higher for deeper water. Light tippets are critical for fishing success and Rio's Fluoroflex Tippet is incredibly strong even in 7x. For a break try stripping woolly buggers or leeches in the deeper holes.
