Greetings!
Welcome to another Blue Ribbon Flies weekly newsletter. Thanks for tuning in. Settle in and we'll tell you what's happening around West Yellowstone and our other favorite spots, show you the fly and the material of the week, and tempt you to plan your next trip with us.
We've got a lot to show you and tell you about this week, so settle down in a comfy chair and dig in. Take a break from work or play, grab a cup of coffee, and pretend you're leaning on the counter here at Blue Ribbon Flies.
We hope to see you soon, right here in West Yellowstone, but until then we wish you happy and healthy fishing and fly tying. All our best to each of you. We wish you were here, but until you are we'll keep you in the loop. Thanks for stopping by.

What's New
What's Happening in Yellowstone Country
As you can see by the photo everyone is fishing, even John Juracek got into a little action, unbelievable!!
What a great week of dry fly fishing we've had in Yellowstone country! Fine emergences of Baetis and midges and the first strong March Browns coming off rivers like the Henry's Fork, Yellowstone, Stillwater and others.
Our Spring Mayfly Tours are in full force and everyone is having wonderful times on our rivers, and some lakes too!
Ideal weather conditions for bringing on strong hatches of mayflies looks to continue as cool-wet weather patterns persist so dry fly fishing will remain good into the near future.
Fishing the edges of Earthquake Lake remains our "sleeper bet" of the week as big trout cruise the shoreline in search of both fish and midges. The areas around Beaver, Rock and Eagle Creeks have been very good as well as both the outlet and inlet to this great lake.
Our rivers are all fishing well during Baetis and midge times and March Browns are showing up in big numbers on some rivers now too. It drives us nuts to cruise into Yellowstone Park along Grasshopper Bend on the Madison and Midway Geyser Basin on the Firehole and watch Brachycentrus sp caddis emerge with trout rising everywhere knowing we won't be fishing the river until opening day, May 26th this year! It is fun to watch but oh how we'd love to wet a line!
The shop is taking shape now as our little remodel is coming together, Bucky and Craig have been dying up loads of pheasant tail clumps this week and we will "special" feature them in next week's newsletter so make sure you check out our PT special then.
Craig is off fishing and spring turkey hunting and his report to soon follow on his spring adventures. In the meantime, c all us anytime for up-to-the-minute fishing info as well as stream flow reports, fly patterns and any questions regarding places to stay, when to come or anything else fly-fishing you have on your mind!
As usual in the rest of this issue, you'll find fishing news from Yellowstone Country in the weekly Fishing Report. You can see what's hot off the vise in the Fly of the Week, get a sneak peek at some of the best materials on our tying bench in the Fly Tying Material of the Week, and stay up to date with the guide staff and their trips in the Guide Trip of the Week.
You'll be seeing a new email newsletter most every week throughout the fall and winter to keep you tuned in to all things fly fishing and fly tying in the greater Yellowstone area and beyond. Throughout the seasons, we'll keep sending you news of hatches and fishing holes around West Yellowstone. So without further delay, go ahead and jump right into the newsletter. And as always, don't hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email if you have any questions, or if you just want a little fish talk.
