  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 6/21

        The Missouri is holding a generally steady line at 4500cfs. Fishing has been pretty good on foot and from a boat. Nymphing is always the most reliable approach, but the dry fly fishing has been good as well. There have been pods of fish on all stretches of the river eating BWOs and…

  • Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 6/21

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 6/21

        The flow bump we saw from the rain was relatively minor, and we’re now sitting at 4500cfs. Clarity is improving every day, and dry fly opportunities are abundant with the big bugs flying around. The salmonflies are thick up here right now, along with heavy caddis hatches. Fishing has been good, so get…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 6/21

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 6/21

      The Clark Fork is coming into shape, but it’s still a little off from ideal at this point. The sections above town have been fishing decent with streamers and golden stones, but it saw a pretty sizable bump at the end of the week from rain. The lower river is slowly clearing up, and…

  • Bitterroot Fishing Report – 6/21

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 6/21

    The upper end of the Bitterroot dropped very nicely mid-week, but the lower end has bumped a little bit with the rain. It might not be the best local option, but it’ll certainly fish for you. Focus on nymphing, but you might see some salmonflies and golden stones flying about. Streamers will work too, with…

  • Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 6/19

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 6/19

    With all the rain we are getting, we’re gonna see another small bump in flows, but nothing too serious.  The flows are sitting at 4400 cfs at Bonner with improving clarity.  Streamers and nymphs are back on the menu with all the moisture we’re having but there could be some baetis popping too so pack…

  • Bitterroot Fishing Report – 6/19

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 6/19

      The East Fork and West Fork of the Bitterroot are hands down your best bets with a flow of 840 cfs on the west fork.  The main stem is still fishing sub par with a flow of 7900 cfs but the back and side channels can hold some nice fish if you can get…

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 6/19

    Its been a little rainy over here the last couple of days but the flows are holding steady at 4700 cfs with good clarity.  The dry flies have definitely started showing up but their presence is going to be dependent on conditions for the next day or two . There have been pods of fish…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 6/19

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 6/19

      The Clark Fork is still a little high and off color with a flow of 7800 cfs above town.  The upper sections or anywhere downstream of a clean running tributary has been a much better bet.  If you’re working the clean tributary water, be very thorough and work all the water with a tandem…

  • Rock Creek Fishing Report – 6/19

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 6/19

    The Flow on Rock Creek is bouncing around 1300 cfs and is continuing to improve.  The Salmon fly action has been very good with the exception of the rain storms we’ve been having.  The Baetis have also been popping when the weather permits.  Streamers have also been a great bet for size and numbers. For…

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 6/17

      While management tries to fill up the lakes in the Missouri chain, the flows below Holter are holding steady around 4500cfs, which is ideal for wade fishing and fishing from a boat this time of year. There have been pods of fish on all stretches of the river eating BWOs and caddis. For dry…
