  • Blackfoot Report – 8/12

    Oh yeah, today’s going to be GOOD on the Blackfoot!  The smoke induced cloud cover will keep bigger fish on the move towards the surface today and will also increase your streamer success pretty dramatically.  While this river always fishes well in the sun for lots of smaller fish and a few big ones in…

  • Rock Creek Report – 8/12

    REPORT: The smokey haze from the fires has been creating a cloud coveresque sort of deal out there the past couple of days and it’s making for some very good fishing.  The fish have been much more consistent on the surface and the bigger fish seem to be on the move too.  Still an attractor/terrestrial…

  • Rock Creek Report – 8/9

    REPORT: Rock Creek is running 223 cfs this morning compared with 275 cfs a year ago today.  The best dryfly action will begin around 11 and keep going clear into mid evening with the caddis.  Daytime PMDs, terrestrials and smaller attractors will be your best bet.  Nymphing has also been very effective but short of…

  • Blackfoot Report – 8/9

    Today’s flow near Bonner is 653 cfs with a high water temp yesterday of 68.  This compares with a flow of 793 and a high of 65 on the same day last year.  The cool nights have been making for big swings in water temps these days and that means it’s taking the rivers awhile…

  • Bitterroot Report – 8/9

    Hoot Owl restrictions are now in place for the entire Bitterroot river.  This means that no fishing is allowed between the hours of  2 P.M. and midnight. The ‘root is REALLY low in the middle sections.  It’s from a bad combination of heavy irrigation and warm weather.  Nothing new here, though, it’s been going on…

  • Missouri Report – 8/9

    The flow below Holter this morning is 3020 with a peak water temp yesterday of 64.5.  Tricos, caddis and some PMDs are the main fare over here these days although hoppers are motivating fish for us too.  The crowds have peeled off a bit due to the heat wave and the excessive algae bloom, but…

  • Missouri Report – 8/6

    Tricos, caddis and some PMDs are the main fare over here these days although hoppers are motivating fish for us too.  The crowds have peeled off a bit due to the heat wave and the excessive algae bloom, but there is still fishing to be had. Fishing subsurface with anything is tough these days due…
