It’s good over here, what more can we say!?  Lots of fish looking up and more and more bugs showing up every day.  Some PMDs, lots of cadds (lots more to arrive), some hoppers here and there . . .  Nymphing is still very good with the smaller pink or grayish tailwater stuff and the…

A little extension to the annoying water bump!  The upper river is seeing flows about 300 cfs higher than on Friday while the lower river is up about 1500 cfs.  These are both pretty substantial bumps as a percentage of flow for these sections.  The good news is that the water clarity is still decent…

REPORT: The uppermost sections of the Clark are stable from a flow perspective and should be fishing well. Golden stones, caddis, some salmonflies and bigger mayflies will all motivate fish to the surface midday.  Good evening caddis fishing too.  Darker bodied streamers in the bright sun have been very effective up top as well.  The…

It’s up about 500 cfs in the past 2 days and will likely waffle up, then back down a bit more today.  No major pushed of water will arrive due to the heat, (the main push peaked on May 14th), but it will fluctuate enough to keep the fish off their game – at least…

REPORT: The sort of bump thingy that the other rivers have experienced due to the radical warm-up has left the creek pretty much unscathed.  The flow this morning is still a happy rowing and dryfly take inducing 844 cfs  and dropping.  It’s going to be just as good today as it has been recently.  Salmonlfies…

REPORT: The salmonflies are river-wide at this point, but most heavily concentrated mid river and lower. Fish are seeing enough of them, however, so fishing salmonfly dries is effective pretty much top to bottom.  A variety of bigger bugs are working such as 1/2 downs, Rogue salmonflies, big Para Madam Xs and even big royal…

The Blackfoot was giving up some exceptional streamer fishing in the dropping water conditions of a week ago but suffered an abrupt slowdown during the recent temporary push of water we saw.  Things seem to be coming back into shape quickly and we anticipate good stuff by the weekend.  The bright sun will also get…

REPORT: The Clark is recovering from the bump of a couple of days ago. At this point, the flow increases are down around St Regis with the rest of the river dropping. The lower river bump likely isn’t enough to put much of a damper on the fishing, especially the very good evening caddis action…

There is an annoying “wave” of water moving down the ‘root right now.  It was up top around Darby yesterday, and is manifesting itself mid river as of this morning.  The lower river will be bumping by this afternoon as the upper begins to fall back into fishing friendly levels.  The river near Bell is…

It’s kind of a transitional grab bag over here right now and very day to day in terms of what’s working.  We’re taking fish on everything from tiny hoppers to fish remembering the baetis willing to eat size 18 paras.  The sun isn’t helping your shallow water streamer fishing, but it’s been staying fairly consistent…
