Bitterroot Fishing Report – 7/6
The Bitterroot has reverted back to the daily yo-yo game with flows. The average has leveled out a little bit, but this river in particular has been a tough one to pin down in the recent weeks. The upper river is a better choice than the lower. If you’re in the area, feel free to…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 7/6
The Blackfoot is on a big drop, down to a little below 3000cfs. Even with the additional pressure it’s been receiving, it is fishing well. We’ve been seeing good numbers of golden stones, yellow sallies, BWOs and caddis. Salmon flies will still catch fish, but they’re fading out. The best fishing is still right off…

Missouri River Fishing Report – 7/6
Peaking at around 7000cfs with this most recent rise, the Missouri has started to level out just a little bit. When the wind is calm, the dry fly fishing has been awesome, but nymphing is still the reliable method. For dry flies, we’re looking at PMD cripples, standard Adams parachutes, midge clusters, elk hair caddis,…

Rock Creek Fishing Report – 7/6
Down below 800cfs now, Rock Creek is primed for great wade fishing in the coming weeks. Expect a crowd even larger than normal for this 4th of July weekend. Golden stones, caddis, and green drakes are the ticket now, as the salmonflies have tapered off considerably. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, bullet head…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 7/5
The Bitterroot has reverted back to the daily yo-yo game with flows. It’s also the only local river back on the rise. There is more remaining snow down the Bitterroot than anywhere else right now, so it’s possible that the 90 degree days have induced some residual snow-melt runoff. Regardless, it’s preventing the Bitterroot from…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 7/5
Although still higher than average flows for this time of year, the Clark Fork is really coming in to shape. With the upper river clearing up, and the lower river definitely below 20,000cfs, we could see some solid early summer fishing this coming week. The caddis are thick down on Fish Creek, so the main…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 7/3
The Clark Fork is now on the drop after the rain we had last week. We’ll see what this forecasted 90 degree weather will do this week. Fishing hasn’t quite come into shape on the Clark Fork, but our wait needn’t be long. If you see golden stones about, use a big yellow or orange…
