It’s definitely getting colder up here which is scrunching down the effective dryfly action to about a 2 or 3 hour window midday.  Even the nymphing has stalled a bit until the sun’s been up awhile.  When you do see fish rising, a size 14 comparadun or Adams/haze should work about as well as anything. …

More of the same going on up here today which should make you happy.  We’ve been having some exceptional days on the ‘root lately.  If you’re a streamerhead, you’re in luck.  If you’re a dryfly junkie, you’re in for a treat.  If you like the ball and chain routine, you’ll definitely stay bent.  It’s going…

Looks like today will pretty much be a repeat of the past few days with partly sunny conditions.  The Blackfoot has been fishing well for lots of little fish and some big boys thrown in every once in awhile.  The streamer fishing has picked up considerably in the past few days with olive or black…

Pretty much a weather replica of Missoula over here today – wind and sun. The river has been fishing well on all fronts. Streamers, nymphs and dries are all taking fish these days so it’s pretty much a matter of personal preference.  Like most times of the year over here,  nymphing remains king for racking…

The wind could slow down your topwater prospects up here today, but the subsurface fishing that has been very consistent should remain that way if dry fly conditions become less than ideal.  There are good numbers of mahoganies up here in the sunny afternoons, and decent numbers of caddis too by day’s end.  The fish…

Looks like more wind on the way today, but the ‘root, in general, seems fish about as well as any river in the area under blowing conditions.  There is some very good fishing to be had up here these days from all the way up top, clear down to Missoula.  The sunny conditions on tap…

The fishing has picked up considerably on the lower 1/2 of the creek. The dry fly fishing really gets going around 1 and shuts down hard about 3:30.  Size 14 comparaduns and Adams/haze style parachutes are working about as well as any dry at this point.  By mid afternoon, though, sometimes a smaller royal stimi…

Tomorrow will likely be a better baetis day than today’s bright and sunny conditions, but if the wind doesn’t get going to the degree they’re saying it might, the mahoganies should keep the fish looking up.  We’ve been having good fishing along most of the length of the Clark recently with the uppermost river fishing…

The good news is that there’s not going to be much wind over here to speak of.  The bad news is that today will be the first “suddenly sunny” day in the last few.  Especially for the next day or two, your best bet over here will be tandem nymph setups.  Kinda been the story…

The lower river is still seeing the bump in flow and sedimentation that has pushed through the other tributary rivers.  It’s starting to turn back down, but for now, conditions mid river and lower are still less than ideal.  Factor in the wind they’re calling for and the lower river will be challenging.  The uppermost…
