  • Clark Fork – 5/17

    Clark Fork – 5/17

    REPORT: The upper river is still giving it up on on top and on streamers – especially streamers!   A variety of colors are working well with lazy dead-drifting twitches away from the bank.  Nice sized fish willing to play.  We’re having some fun days on attractor stuff and skwala dries as well.  The lower river…

  • Missouri report – 5/8

    Missouri report – 5/8

    The river  below Holter running the same as yesterday morning at 4300 cfs.  The bright sun is keeping the tandem nymph rigs the most productive but there are still enough bugs out and about to get a few fish looking up.  Button emergers, cripples and CDC stuff have been the best on the March browns. …

  • Clark Fork report – 5/11

    Clark Fork report – 5/11

    REPORT: The uppermost river is still a happy place with good streamer and dryfly action. The upper reaches are still running about what they were and there are lots of skwala adults.  Everything from Rock Creek downstream is blowing out big time.  The river near St. Regis is up to 21,300 this morning. 1/2 OFF…

  • Rock Creek report – 5/8

      REPORT: The river’s up to sketchy wading levels and the fishing will shut of hard as it continues to rise.  Take heart, more water means ideal floating conditions right on the edge of salmonfly madness.  Give it a few days to settle into its groove and it’ll be game on.  Not so much today…

  • Missouri report – 5/6

    Missouri report – 5/6

    Another day of calm and sunny.  Egggggselent!!!  The river is up just a tiny bit (120 cfs) below Holter this morning, and the fishing should be very good.  Lots of blue wings and lots of March browns out and about tempting the fatties lately.  Button emergers, cripples and CDC stuff have been the best on…

  • Rock Creek report – 5/6

    Rock Creek report – 5/6

      REPORT: You can bet that the 70 degree days and near 40 degree nights will start to bring down the snowpack.   The creek is showing a rise in flow this morning and that’s likely to continue and get more dramatic over the course of the day.  You should be able to get better topwater…

  • Blackfoot report – 5/6

    Blackfoot report – 5/6

    This river and the upper Clark are the only 2 local whose cfs graphs are hiding the truth this morning.  Expect the level line of Blackfoot flows to spike radically upward in the VERY near future – probably today. The weather for the week ahead is sure to unleash the May/June blow-out.  You may get…

  • Clark Fork report – 5/6

    Clark Fork report – 5/6

    REPORT: The uppermost river looks to be your only real solid Clark Fork option for a day float.  The mid and lower rivers are going to be on the rise all day long.  Wading these lower stretches for the first 1/2 of the day may be viable, but the water’s getting ready to let loose. …
