  • Clark Fork – 5/2

    Clark Fork – 5/2

    REPORT: The river is still on the drop today and will likely keep heading that direction through the weekend.  You also have the advantage of this being the 2nd day of bright sun rather than the 1st.  Runoff is just around the corner, but not as close as the exaggerated daytime highs that were predicted…

  • Missouri River Fishing Report: 5/1

    Missouri River Fishing Report: 5/1

    Looks like better shooting again on the Mo today as winds lay down a bit from the INSANITY they have been recently.  The wind in the forecast today should feel like still conditions by comparison.  Look for the standard nymph fare to tear ’em up over here as well as a variety of dries (we’ve…

    Clarkfork River Fishing Report: 5/1

    REPORT: Conditions are MUCH better than they were on this river a year ago!  On this day in ’12, the river near St. Regis was already flowing 29,200 and dropping compared with 9450 and dropping.  Additionally, the weather that’s in the forecast is just about ideal to kick this river into high gear at least…

  • Bitterroot River Fishing Report: 5/1

    Bitterroot River Fishing Report: 5/1

    The entire river is on the drop right now and the fishing up here should be decent today, better tomorrow.  Higher water (even though it’s dropping), combined with wind and the first bright sun in awhile won’t do you any favors.  Luckily, with the revised forecast, it looks like you’ll get a bit more time…

  • Blackfoot River Report: 5/1

    Blackfoot River Report: 5/1

    The Blackfoot has stabilized for the most part and should begin to head back down quickly either today or tomorrow.  With the seemingly every 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…

    Missouri River Fishing Report: 4/30

      REPORTS: Looks like better shooting on the Mo today as winds lay down a bit from the INSANITY they have been recently.  The wind in the forecast today should feel like still conditions by comparison.  Look for the standard nymph fare to tear ’em up over here as well as a variety of dries…

  • Blackfoot River Report: 4/30

    Blackfoot River Report: 4/30

    Yeeeeeeah, you’ll want to wait a day or two for this one.  The lower river is running about 1800 cfs higher than it was 2 days ago – much above the 300 cfs increase in 24 hours we use as a fish stalling yardstick.  The upper river and the North Fork are all on the…

  • Bitterroot River Fishing Report: 4/30

    Bitterroot River Fishing Report: 4/30

      The uppermost river might treat you ok, but the river from about Darby downstream is going to need a day to get its act together.  It’s not that you can’t catch some fish up here today, but you’ll work much harder for them than you have been or even will be tomorrow.  Pretty substantial…

  • Clarkfork River Fishing Report: 4/30

    Clarkfork River Fishing Report: 4/30

      REPORT: The upper end should fish well for you today having risen only 300 cfs in the past 48 hours.  The mid river (through town here) and the lower sections below about Tarkio are going to need a day to chill having seen increases up to 2000 cfs in 48 hours.  The river has…

  • Rock Creek Fishing Report: 5/1

    Rock Creek Fishing Report: 5/1

      REPORT: Back to being fish and user friendly as water levels drop and the daytime highs start to think about creeping upward again.  It’s going to take a few hours for the water to warm up a bit since it’s starting out this morning at 40 degrees.  By early afternoon, though, you should have…
