Fishing Report July 2026
Water levels are coming down fast. So Far, temps are good and bugs are coming off daily. However, Afternoon winds can slow things down on top. The best way to describe how it has been inconsistently good. One day the fish are looking up from the get go. The next day it may not pick […]
Prime Time
It’s a little early in June. And we could use some rain, but things are about perfect. Conditions are what we typically have in late June. Salmonflies are out and water clarity is good. Last friday lots of big bugs around Sunset on the Blackfoot and fish looking up. Bigger fish on Streamers. West Fork […]
Rollercoaster ride Missoula Fishing Report
It has been an up and down deal on the local rivers. A week ago @ Bell Crossing flows were 2200 and off color. Today there down to 1200. Cooler weather and some snow have slowed the snowmelt and improved the clarity. On the cooler days it postpones the topwater action till later in the […]

Really Good Spring Report Masters Week 24
Things probably couldn’t have shaped up any better this spring. We started off with low water and spotty fishing, that progressed to about as consistently good as the weather would allow. Most days you would have a variety of conditions and if your strategy would adapt you could stay in the fish. Nymphing would usually […]

For those who wait to book we Salute You!
Well, at least this year booking late could benefit you. Usually, I recommend that folks book early to lock down the best dates. As they tend to fill up early. This year may be a little different. I try to never guess/anticipate how the season may roll out when flows on the river are concerned. […]
