Much like the Blackfoot, fishing Rock Creek this time of year means that you can fish with all items on the fly menu. Dries, nymphs, streamers, you name it. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, PMDs, BWOs, bullet head stones, half downs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk hair caddis, and para wulffs. For…

  It all works on the Blackfoot this time of year. Dries, nymphs, streamers, it’s all good. October caddis have been sighted, so get out your Big Orange. For dries use tricos, big PMDs, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, Orange Stimulators, parachute adams, and purple hazes. For nymphs use Pat’s rubber legs, princes, double…

  The fishing has been very solid on the Bitterroot. We’re seeing a lot of mayflies, and droppers off attractor dries should turn fish. Still keep the BWOs in mind, along with the flies that have been working for the last couple weeks. Hecubas, hoppers, tricos, PMDs, mahoganies, caddis. Tossing a nymph rig is never…

  The evening fishing on the Clarkfork has been particularly noteworthy with excellent caddis and mayfly hatches.  The mid day fishing has been a little spotty but hopper dropper rigs, tandem nymph rigs and streamers have all been good bets.  Mornings have also had great mayfly hatches but the evenings are definitely where its at…

  With fall slowly approaching the fishing conditions are changing rapidly.  From the lower flows (which give wade fisherman excellent access) to the cold mornings to the hot mid days, Things are a little funky.  The morning baetis fishing has held strong but mid days can be a little tricky.  Use a hopper dropper to…

  Oh man,  the fishing is holding strong with the funky temp and weather differences as fall approaches.  Hoppers are still bouncing around in good numbers when the day warms up and the October caddis are just starting to make an appearance, just not in huge numbers yet.  The Fall Baetis can be expected in…

  With the push of cold weather and light rain this week, the fishing has really picked up with the change in weather.  the streamer fishing has really taken off and the arrival of the fall mayflies is making the top water fishing very noteworthy.  For top water bugs use Big parachute adams, mahoganies, purple…

  The bug action right before sundown has been bonkers. PEDs, tricos, caddis, hoppers, they’ll eat it all, and do so without a care in the world. Floating through town after work yesterday provided some of the best top water scenery I’ve seen all year. For dries, use rusty spinners in the evening, elk hair…

  The skinny on Rock Creek is the dropping water levels. It’s now under 300cfs, and will continue to drop until we get significant rain. At this point in the year, dropping water levels aren’t too much to worry about, and it shouldn’t impact the fishing that has been quite good out here recently. For…

  A good frost should mark the demise for our large lady mayfly, but until then (as September rolls along, this might come sooner than we’d like to admit) we can enjoy how much the fish enjoy her. For dries, use large parachute adams, PMDs, Small baetis, purple hazes, tricos, drakes, caddis, Golden stones, hoppers,…
