Salmonflies and Spruce Moths
Never have seen it before. But it’s happening now. Salmonflies are still around and the spruce moth’s are gonzo. River levels have finally leveled off to where they should be just about everywhere. Blackfoot has been fishing best from around 9 to about 12. And it seems like the water temps aren’t the issue on […]
Great fishing! depending on where you are July 1st fishing
We’re about where we should be considering the snowpack for the year. In essence there has been 2 runoff’s. Things had shaped up and looked good about 2 weeks ago. Then the rain/monsoon came and postponed things. So depending on the stretch you pick things can be great or still about a week away. […]
June 13th Shaping up nice
Thing’s are looking pretty good on almost all the rivers. The Blackfoot has turned Glacier Green with about 2 feet of Vis. The goldens are thick and some salmon flies also if you check the willows. good time for a double nymph rig, always looking for that afternoon dry fly window. Bitteroot is just about […]
Missoula fishing report runoff
Warmer temps has brought on the muddy and high water. In a way getting rid of a little of it now may be good. Otherwise we could have high water mid-July. The Skwala hatchway one of the best in years with some great stuff on top. It just seemed to come a bit later this […]
Happy 2018
Well, new year, great snow packs so far and with a little luck we’ll have a smoke free summer. Time of year where summer seems ages away. But we will be out in a month or so chasing the big green stones along with the fish. This year is going to include some new restrictions […]
Fall Fishing Report 9/10/17
Things have started to cool off. Smokey haze has kept the water temps down and the fish pretty happy. It has still been the best fishing down on the Bitterroot early. Hoppers, Tricos, and the Big Mayfly showing up. Mixing the dropper up can pay off. Blackfoot still a hopper and Trico deal but October […]
Aug 4th Fishing Report Silver Lining
Conditions could. And have been much worse. Water levels are low on the Bitterroot. But depending on where you go you still have some pretty good options. There’s a world of difference between, say the West Fork at 3PM and the Clark fork at noon. about 12 degrees. So still important to get out and […]
Fishing report July 16
A nice break this week on the daytime highs. And a decent shower last night helps to cool things down of a bit. With a lot of talk about restrictions things appear to be holding in there. Flows are still pretty good, especially compared to last year. And depending on where you are the water […]
Report 7/1
Things are about where they should be. Clark Fork is still a little off color. But is actually fishing pretty damn good sub-surface. Turds, Prince’s is about all you really need. Blackfoot is starting to get a much needed break after being HAMMERED! If you do decided to fish there don’t forget to hit the […]
Report June 21 Summer Solstice
Blackfoot gets better everyday. Clarity is about 2-3 feet glacier green. Salmonflies still thick around Russell Gates and above. Big fish eating them but not always consistent. If their not taking on top go sub with a streamer or a nymph/worm. Seems to be a time frame deal up there. may have great fishing for […]
