The Clark Fork’s flow is skipping around 1400cfs and the water temps are staying right in the 60s.  With the absence of the hoot owl closures, the evening fishing has finally been an option, and a good one at that.  in the mornings you can expect PMDs, tricos, and hecubas hatching in pretty good…

    The Bitterroot has been fishing very well giving the cooler temps.  With the lifting of the hoot owl closures, the evening fishing has been an excellent option.  The flow above town is hanging around 570 cfs with a temperature ranging in the 60s.  The Morning fishing has been very noteworthy with lots of…

  With the temps bouncing between the 50s and 60s, the fishing has been creeping towards the fun fall fishing everyone loves.  The flow at the bottom is dipping past 180cfs which is low, but… it’s giving historically good wade fishing access, so at least there’s that.  For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, PMDs,…

The Entire Blackfoot is open all day long, All the tributaries close at 2pm.  Now that it’s almost September, we can start talking about the fall streamer fishing on the Blackfoot, which can be really good. Along with good streamer action, the dry fly fishing (mayflies and such, smaller bugs than in the summer) can…

    As the weather gets colder, Rock Creek, and all the surrounding rivers for that matter, get less pressure. In fact, in the winter, Rock Creek can be pure solitude. This is what we have to look forward too. For now though, while it’s still warm, use your mayflies, caddis, and hopper/dropper rigs with…

    The Bitterroot is open again! with the night time lows getting pretty cold, the hoot-owl closures have been lifted on the entirety or the Bitterroot. The Morning fishing has been pretty darn good with lots of PMDs, Baetis, and Tricos. The Bitterroot is certainly worth your time for floating or wading. For dries,…

  With the cooler nights and days and September quickly approaching, the fishing restrictions have been lifted. The entire Clark Fork river has been re-opened including Flint Creek. Mahogany mayflies are not far off, and the rusty spinner fishing below town can be exceptional. For dries, use elk hair and Goddard caddis in the evening,…

    The Bitterroot is open again!  with the night time lows getting pretty cold, the hoot-owl closures have been lifted on the entirety or the Bitterroot.  The Morning fishing has been pretty darn good with lots of PMDs, Baetis, and Tricos.  It’s been taking a little bit for things to warm up and get…

  With the coming fall weather and the nights cooling down into 40s and 50s, the Blackfoot’s restrictions have been lifted on the main stem.  The Hoot-Owl closures are still in place on the tributaries starting at 2pm, but the main stem is open all day long now.  The flows above Bonner are hanging at…

    Rock Creek is sitting at 180cfs and had very little change from the rain last night, as far as the flow is concerned. It’s a late-summer game now, and it’s fishing well. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, PMDs, BWOs, bullet head stones, half downs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk hair caddis,…
