As I moved farther it became increasingly difficult as most everywhere was flooded. I managed to slowly pick my way through the thick brush and around the flooded trails coming to the end of the access (at least as far as I could go). This was where a pretty large tributary intersected with the even larger main river. It was a nice wide open calm area so I fished there for a half hour or so. I then picked my way through the thick brush and flooded trails back the way I came. It actually was alot quicker then it took me going in. I got back to my car and decided to check out the north side of the access which is on the east Gallatin river. The access actually starts where the Gallatin and east Gallatin split with the majority of the access land between the two rivers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-24e1bda elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"24e1bda\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5fd062d\" data-id=\"5fd062d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b81692e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b81692e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/tmtfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GF4-768x432.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-2963\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tmtfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GF4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tmtfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GF4-scaled-e1690756872671-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tmtfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GF4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tmtfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GF4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tmtfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GF4-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tmtfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GF4-scaled-e1690756872671.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Last spot<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-770acbc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"770acbc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d13e58\" data-id=\"5d13e58\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6ff7d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d6ff7d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>So I started at the south side of the Gallatin river then drove back to the beginning of the access on Nixon Gulch road where the east Gallatin splits. There is a parking area on the south side of the river right next to the bridge where the access starts. The parking lot was full so I parked on the north side of the east Gallatin just on the side of the road. I had to walk off the road into the brush and kind of make a shortcut through a river lodge. So this part wasn&#8217;t meant to be accessible but it technically was part of the access on the map. I probably went another couple hundred yards with no dacernable trail and through some thick brush before i came to an open area on the river. I gave it a few casts but it was just the main river going at full force so it wasn&#8217;t much of a spot. I then headed out as this area wasn&#8217;t meant to be accessible. As I mentioned above the majority of the access land is between the East Gallatin and Gallatin. So you either have to cross the Gallatin from the south where i started or cross at the bridge where the river splits but you have to cross the river to get to most of the access. So thats kind of a bummer haha but i think it would be worth doing as its a big area to explore. Anyway the area I explored had plenty of good spots and especially\u00a0 \u00a0when the river is lower and trails aren&#8217;t flooded. Thats it for Gallatin Forks check out the highlight video at reeltmtfish on instagram and tiktok and full length video at tmtfish on youtube.
