    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 6/14

      We’ve started catching some fish up on the Blackfoot, but we’re still suffering from dirty water and higher flows, now around 5500cfs. Dry fly stuff is VERY spotty.

      The upper and lower stretches of the Clark Fork are on a steady decline, but it’s not quite in top shape.

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 6/12

      It’s time for dry flies.  The flow below Holter has dropped dramatically down too 4500 cfs making it a viable option for wade fisherman and floaters.  Standard Missouri nymphing is the best bet, but there have been pods of fish on all stretches of the river eating BWOs and caddis. For dry flies, we’re…
