5/29/2015 D.Tucker Clear Creek Outfitters
This week has been good to the rivers in western Montana, with a smattering of rain and some dry days and nights that have not only helped the rivers drop into shape but have spurred on the hatches of the headliner bug of early summer: Pteronarcys Californica. Salmonflies. It’s been the buzz all week, though […]
Ok pay attention to this one!
What’s going on right now is something we don’t see very often. rivers are running lower.Much lower than we typically have this time of year. Also clarity is outstanding. And fishing has been really good. Most likely due to the fact that a good bit of our snowpack is already gone. This isn’t the best […]
Mothers Day report D Tucker
We’re up. The rivers are up, and the push is big enough now that it might be time to fill the thermos with coffee and head over the hills to the Missouri if you’re looking to find lots of fish this weekend. What happens over the hill in May? Big hatches, big fish looking up, […]
What’s the word By Dylan T
Well, you’ve been waiting all week for it and the time is now. If you’ve stopped in to a fly shop this week there’s a good chance you’ve heard some big numbers and big talk about this being the best spring in recent memory. That may be true, but you’ve got to remember a fly […]
April 24 If you don’t know. Now you know.
Well the warm weather was nice for the last week. The fishing was really good. But somewhat spotty. Meaning mid day around 1:30 when the bugs came off it was as good as it gets. You didn’t need to see any fish rise. Just a little faith. Drakes, March Browns and yes Skwalas. With a […]

Masters Report
Great spring fishing is here in western Montana, and this weekend is your time! Our rivers are dropping, clearing, and putting smiles faces. With cold nights and warm days, the fish are willing to move and are taking dries all across the map. If you want to hold a prehistoric beast of a fish the […]
Spring Hatches
Well the weather changes daily. But the bugs seem to be most predictable. Really hasn’t mattered if it’s sunny and 70 or 40 and cloudy the hatches are most active from about 11-3. Which is what you would expect this time of year. In August ,in the middle of summer the opposite will ring true. […]
Report March 28. 2015
Fly Report 3/27/15 Spring fishing in western Montana is here, and there are some good options for the weekend. I’m going to keep it short and sweet on the Clark Fork: Skip it. High and off color, not worth your time. Rock Creek is staying cold as well, and if you’re really loving watching the […]
Stable flows
Well things have pretty much peaked out from the recent rain. Flows bumped from about 500 cfs to 1200 last week around Darby. And have leveled out over the last few days around a grand. What does this mean? Clarity is improving but the cold water is still moving pretty quick. Some fish in spawn […]
