  • Clark Fork Report – 6/21

    REPORT: The Clark Fork has been fishing like the Clark of old lately and that’s a VERY good thing!  It’s been awhile.  Blizzard hatches on the upper and lower river are keeping the fish looking to the surface HUGE from about 11 right up until dark on the warm evenings anyway.  More like until about…

  • Bitterroot Report – 6/21

    It’s back on in the clouds and dropping water today.  Green drakes and PMDs will have the fish looking to the surface pretty much all day long.  Everything from bigger button emergers to cripples to comparaduns should get you bent in today’s nearly ideal summer dryfly weather.  The cloud cover should help your lower river…

  • Blackfoot Report – 6/21

    It’s days away from fishing huge on top.  This is not to say you won’t be able to take fish with dries today, but the river is still settling out from the last bump in flows.  There are good numbers of salmonflies on the mid and upper river and lots of drakes, PMDS and caddis…

  • Rock Creek Report – 6/21

    REPORT: Life goes merrily along on the creek these days with lots of bugs out and about and lots of fish up (and under) looking for them.  Drakes, PMDs, golden stones, caddis, it’s all good right now.  More cloud cover today means more predictably good topwater action with decent nymphing and streamer fishing as well. …

    Rock Creek Report – 6/19

    REPORT: Get out your mayfly box, it’s going to be a green drake and PMD kinda day on the creek!  Expect to have good shooting top to bottom on Rock Creek today with a flow of 600 cfs near Clinton making for easy wading and semi decent floating (from a proximity to bank buddies perspective). …

    Blackfoot Report – 6/19

    You should have some decent fishing on the Blackfoot today in the cloudy weather, but we don’t think it’ll be as good as your other 3 immediate options.  It’s taking a bit longer for the clarity to come back up here . . .which is an issue.  Still, though, there will be some fish looking…

    Clark Fork Report – 6/19

    REPORT: The potential is there for this river to be a rock star today, it just depends on how windy it gets.  The lower river should be green drake central today and the subsurface action should be really solid too with dark buggers and/or brown rubber legs and San Juans.  Even if you’re not seeing…

    Bitterroot Report – 6/19

    Oh yeah!!  Happy happy!  The ‘root is going to rock today.  Rainy and warm conditions mean a mayfly extravaganza!  Green drakes and PMDs will have the fish looking to the surface pretty much all day long.  Everything from bigger button emergers to cripples to comparaduns should get you bent in today’s nearly ideal summer dryfly…

  • Missouri Report – 6/17

    Missouri Report – 6/17

    The the Mo fish are quite a bit more skittish in the bright conditions, but it’s definitely made for some great insect activity.  Tandem nymph rigs down deep under an indicator will almost certainly be your most effective approach again today although you should still encounter singles and pods willing to play on top.  Lots…

    Bitterroot Report – 6/17

    The bright sun is no longer a novelty on the ‘root and the fish have adapted.  Expect good fishing with golden stones, PMDs, drakes and then the later in the afternoon caddis blizzard which will go on into the evening.  We’ve been taking some nice fish on hoppers already and cripples seem to the the…
