Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 10/11
Fishing on the Blackfoot has been quite good recently. Streamer fishing is stellar, as should be expected, and we’re still turning plenty of fish on October caddis dries and nymphs. For dries use October caddis, tricos, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, Orange Stimulators, parachute adams, and purple hazes. For nymphs use Pat’s…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 10/11
We should see more rain and cool temps today. The mayfly action has been really good on the Bitterroot, and the weather shouldn’t change that, other than the tricos fading out. For dry flies, use parachute adams, October caddis, tricos, Hecubas, BWOs, baetis, and attractors. For nymphs, use prince nymphs, copper Johns, micro mayflies,…

Rock Creek Fishing Report – 10/11
The October caddis has been the hatch winner out on Rock Creek as of late, especially with the nymph stages, which have been pulling out some big fish. We have some good bead-head options here in the shop. For dry flies, use October caddis, mahoganies, chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, BWOs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/7
Streamers are still rockin’ it on the upper river and the dryfly action has ramped up considerably on pretty much all the lower reaches from town down to St. Regis. The hatches have gotten a bit more consistent too, and when the bugs are out, the fish have been up and eager. We’ve also…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 10/7
It’s been taking awhile for things to get going on the surface for sure lately, but when they do, there are a few hours of VERY good dryfly action for some really nice sized fish. We’ve been doing well with widely spaced mahogany droppers off the back of October caddis like critters that…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 10/7
Mohoganies and baetis are working hard out there to make this another good fall in your fishing journal. So far, they’re succeeding! By and large you can get by fishing a variety of mayfly offerings in the size 14 to 22 range. Button emergers and Lawson cripples have seen very few refusals when the…

Rock Creek Fishing Report – 10/7
The streamer fishing is day to day and section to section on the creek these days, but if you hit it right, there are some good fish to be had. The dryfly action has been decent but not red hot by any means and has been quite a bit better on the upper 1/3…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/5
Well, the anticipated weekend cloud cover materialized, but the fishing was so so. Not a real mystery though, because bright sun generally isn’t the issue it can be in mid summer. On the bright afternoons, red Turck’s tarantulas sitting near motionless in the “frog water” will eventually get sipped if you’ve got the patience…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 10/5
The streamer fishing has definitely ratcheted up a few notches recently and brown or black woolhead stuff greased up and stripped just subsurface is turning some monster fish for us with near dryfly like strikes – GOOD STUFF! The dry fly fishing is okay but it has been of short duration with nymphs…
