Missouri 3/31
REPORTS: When the sun hasn’t been blazing, (mornings and evenings if there are no clouds), it’s been good surface hunting over here. Lots of different things working in all disciplines – nymphs, streamers and on some days – dry flies. The nymphing has been silly. Pink or red nymphs are king. Scuds, Ray Charles and…

Bitterroot River 3/31
**We will be open from nine until noon today – HAPPY EASTER!*** ***Gnarly and dangerous full river obstruction just below Tucker in “all of a sudden” position.*** Almost to the day, the beginning of April is looking like the real deal in terms of seriously good dry fly fishing for river-wide success locally. The Bitterroot…

Blackfoot River Report – 3/31
The Blackfoot is eating up this sunny warm weather, unfortunately, the hydrograph looks like it’s radically on the rise this morning on the lower river. So far it’s not a 200 cfs bump which is the critical number up here, and if it tails off, things could be good. Keep watching. The bugs are out…

Rock Creek Report – 3/31
REPORTS: **We’re open 9 till noon today – HAPPY EASTER!** Like most of the area rivers, Rock Creek has clicked into “go mode” pretty suddenly. The consistency of the dryfly fishing over the past few days has gotten radically better as temps have warmed and bug activity has increased. While mostly a March Brown and…

Missouri River Report – 3/27
REPORTS: It’s still a diamond in the rough . . if you’re a dryfly guy. If you don’t mind being mesmerized by hotrod colored indicators, it’s a well cut diamond as she sits! Still ok midging here and there with blue wings IN the wings. Waiting on a warm-up. Last week’s cold spell didn’t help…

Clark Fork River Report – 3/31
REPORTS: The Clark Fork has finally become a serious option. LOTS more bugs out and about in the warmer weather have the fish hunting much more actively. The streamer fishing in the mornings ,(and on cloudy afternoons), continues to be pretty good. Black, brown or olive on any given day – rain or shine. In…

Blackfoot – 3/21
The Blackfoot has been running about 200 cfs above historical averages on the lower end recently. The flow has stabilized over the past 5 days after a fairly sudden bump which had shut down the fishing to a large degree. Things are better now. Still a matter of getting on the bottom whether you’re fishing…

Rock Creek Report – 3/21
REPORTS: Rock Creek is beBopping around historical averages for stream flow these days the a current flow of 267 cfs. The entire creek is fishing pretty well although almost exclusively subsurface. You can smack a fatty here and there on top, but the surface victories are few and far between. Your best poison continues to…

Bitterroot River Report – 3/21
Oh yeah, happy happy! While the crowds seem to grow every year (it’s a long way from when we were guiding the ‘root in April and seeing NO other boats 20 years ago), the fish seem to be lining up to accommodate all the anglers. It’s a dryfly deal for sure. You may have to…

Clark Fork River Report – 3/21
REPORTS: It’s not far from doing its spring thing, but so far, it has been so so. The river is running more or less at historical average these days and for March, the fishing’s not too bad. On warmer days there has been some later afternoon dryfly activity, especially on the lower river around Superior.…
