Well, guess that was your break in the wind.  More blowing on the way today although from the sound of it, it’ll be no worse than here in Missoula.   Look for the standard nymph fare to work really well over here as well as a variety of dries including baetis, midges and March browns.…

Mostly cloudy skies with widely scattered shows, a high of 55 and almost no wind?!!  Are you KIDDING ME!!??  RUN don’t walk to the Mo because this is about as good as it gets over here conditions wise.  This is brown bugger/crawdad Nirvana!!  Yeah, it’s pretty good stuff for you dry fly enthusiasts too! Pretty…

The uppermost river is showing a little upward hitch as of early this morning, but it’s likely nothing to worry about.  The lower 3/4 of the ‘root are still on the drop and looking ideal for stellar fishing today.  There will be a bit of wind, but the 20 mph gusts they’re calling for will…

REPORT: This is still the river we’re keeping the closest watch on since there is the potential for some of the best fishing of the year happening here in the next few days.  The wind forecast for the lower river looks considerably more inviting than the Missoula predictions and makes the lower river VERY attractive…

As we predicted, the Blackfoot is coming into shape HUGE right now with falling water levels and rising water temps due to the warmer days.  The nights are still staying below 40 which should keep things firmed up a bit in the mountains which means at least a weekend of rock and roll fishing on…

  REPORT: The creek is still dropping and and starting the day today with a 47 degree water temperature.  On top of that, they’re calling for overcast skies with a 50% chance of rain – that’s a good thing!  Yeah there’s going to be some afternoon winds today, but the creek should fish big right…

More calm conditions on the Mo today and more bright sun.  Keep the nymphs deep and look for good early morning and late afternoon/evening dryfly action on midges and tiny mayfly patterns.  It’s going to be novel to fish without getting sandblasted by whitecaps!  Look for the standard nymph fare to tear ’em up over…

  REPORT: Good stuff on the creek again as conditions line up to be nearly ideal through the weekend.  Water temps up here are going through about a 7 degree swing in the course of a day, so there’s going to be a big difference between the fishes’ willingness to come to the surface in…

The Blackfoot is dropping this morning and running about 100 cfs less near Bonner than it was yesterday morning.  With the seemingly ever changing weather forecasts, it now looks like runoff could be postponed at least a few more days as the daytime highs will be considerably lower than originally predicted.  Combine this with overnight…

The ‘root should be rockin’ today with dropping water levels, sun acclimated fish, good hatches and almost no wind to speak of.  Look for good caddis and March brown dry fly action as the river settles back down.  The caddis should keep things active right up until early evening.  This is also one of our…
