Flows at Gallatin Gateway are 2650 C.F.S. These are high flows on the Gallatin and the river below the Taylor's Fork is really only good for kayaking and whitewater rafting for the time being. If you want to fish the Gallatin you will want to travel to the area above the Taylor's Fork or inside of Yellowstone National Park. The upper portions of the river are flowing high but there good enough clarity to catch some fish. Nymphing is the mainstay on the upper reaches with larger stonefly imitations trailed with either a san juan worm or large bead head prince. The river should start to drop some over the next few weeks but I would not expect the fishing to pick up on the Gallatin for at least a couple of more weeks.
Fly Pattern Suggestions: BH Prince #6-10, RL Stone #6-8, Yuk Bug #6-8, BH Twenty Incher #6-10, San Juan Worm #10, Turd Blossom Special #6-8
