Gallatin River Canyon, Winter
The winter of 2022 - 2023 has been unusually long and cold.
During the past couple of years, climate change had so affected the timing of the snow melt that it became reasonable to expect to be on a clear green river by the middle of June. I'm pretty sure that won't be the same this year.
This year, the snow pack is pretty good; so, I believe the snow melt will occur later and that the river will be fish-able by the second week of July at the latest.
In any event, you'll want to plan your summer fly fishing trip to southwest Montana around the snow melt on The Gallatin River. You don't want to be here too early and be disappointed that you can't Fish Heaven.
If I were you, I'd plan on being here the second week of July this year.
