Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 5/6

Steelheading South fork of the clearwater

Bitterroot Fishing Report - 4/5

Beginning in April, once a week we will post a brief description of a rig we saw during the previous week that had one of our Kingfisher stickers on the window. When you recognize it as being your car described in our hatch report, stop into the shop and pick out 2 dozen nymphs or dries on us!!

 

The flows on the Blackfoot are like a big angry badger.  With a flow of 8200 cfs at Bonner, you’ll see what I’m talking about.  The Clarity is atrocious and definitely not worth considering today.  It’s going to take some cooler weather to bring it back into shape and with the weather forecasted this week, It’s a possibility.  If you’re really looking to get out, there are a number of good still waters up this direction.   Harpers lake in particular has been fishing well with scuds and big purple cripples.

 

 

If you own and iPad 1 or 2, we have 6 MFC original iPad covers to give away. The first people through the door get’em!!! If you come in with a kingfisher tattoo on your forehead you can have two!!!

Browns Lake is iced off, open and fishing well. However, the private land owners surrounding Browns Lake are now enforcing there NO trespass rights. All the bank fishing with the exception of the public land at the south and east sides of the lake is now closed to walking. We have provided a map showing the property lines and places to legally access the lake. The boundaries highlighted with green are open to the public.
