  • Missouri Report – 6/1

    Missouri Report – 6/1

    Morning and later afternoon/evening will be your best dryfly action in today’s bright sun.  We expect the streamer action to be slowed down a bit too, but the deep indicator nymph rigs should pound the fatties all day long.  There will always be pods of fish rising here and there and basic dries like cripples…

  • Missouri Report – 5/30

    Missouri Report – 5/30

    The flow below Holter this morning is 4160.  The fishing over here sucks right now with all the clouds, bugs and fish you have to put up with.  Who needs this crap when all you REALLY want are clouds, bugs and fish.  WTH?!   Baetis, some caddis, some midges and even a hopper or two…

  • Bitterroot Report – 5/30

    Bitterroot Report – 5/30

    The river picked up some color the past 2 days but is on the way back down now.  It’s still moving right along and is a dangerous scene for inattentive rowers.  The fishing isn’t what it was up here a week ago, but it’s coming back into shape fast.  We’d skip it today and probably…

  • Clark Fork Report – 5/30

    REPORT: This river is still in the middle of the recent annoying bump in flows from the rain.  Give it a day or so and it’ll start dropping again.  This means that the very good fishing you’ve been having on the way upper end and then down low by Superior/St. Regis will be on hold…

  • Blackfoot Report – 5/30

    Nope!  Flows are on their way back down now, but this river (like most in the area) is on a temporary bender after a small but obnoxious bump that has the fishing off a bit from what it was. Just a bit more clarity and some more consistent dropping and it could easily and quickly…

  • Rock Creek Report – 5/30

    Rock Creek Report – 5/30

      REPORT: Rock Creek is back on the drop this morning and fishing well, particularly from a boat.  Flows are at 1140 this morning which is a bit high for wading in general although at this level, you can find lots of places where you can wade.  The upper river coming in through Pburg will…

  • Missouri Report – 5/27

    Missouri Report – 5/27

    The flow below Holter this morning is 4260.  The Mo keeps giving up insanely good fishing these days, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re a dryfly, streamer or nymph chucker, it’s all working! The weather is definitely in your favor today too, with overcast skies and little wind predicted.  This’ll help whether you’re on top…

    Rock Creek Report – 5/27

      REPORT: This is THE place to be right now . . .from a boat.  Conditions up here are nearly ideal water wise and the fishing has been good to say the least!  The fatties are seeing enough salmonflies even if you’re not and have been more than willing to take the orange dries tight…

  • Blackfoot Report – 5/27

    Blackfoot Report – 5/27

    The Blackfoot’s dropping HARD this morning and trying big time to get back in contention!  You may have some luck here and there with deep indicator nymph rigs, streamers or WAY over sized attractor/mayfly dries with 20″ droppers fished in any of the slower, 5′ or shallower water along the banks.  If the flows keep…

  • Clark Fork Report – 5/27

    Clark Fork Report – 5/27

    REPORT: The lower river down around Superior and St. Regis is your best option today . . and it’s not a bad option either.  The upper river is dealing with a series of bumps that are making the fishing less than what it was by a ways.  Give this section another day or two and…
