The Clark Fork is up too 13,000cfs now and very off color.  We had a bunch of rain last night that did almost nothing to the flows.  The best fishing is going to be above town where the higher flows diminish a little.  look for back and side channels and clear running tributaries for…

  Rock Creek’s salmon flies have climbed up above the Dalles at this point and are still movin!  The Fishing has bee pretty darn good between the rain storms and funky weather systems.  The flow at the bottom is back down to 1200cfs with marginal clarity from the rain, but that will pass quick.  If…

  Rock Creek’s flow has climbed up to 1500cfs then had an aggressive drop overnight with marginal clarity. the flow at the bottom is down to1300cfs. If you’re looking to catch the salmon flies, it’s on! The Big bugs are crawling around on the lower half in good numbers and the fish are chowing them…

The Blackfoot has started climbing up in flows again.  The clarity is just starting to milk up, but is still decent as far as fishing goes.  The flows has climbed up to 3400cfs and should continue to climb with the warm weekend forecast.  Streamers and tandem nymph rigs will be the name of the game…

  The Bitterroot is jumping up and down around 6700cfs with poor clarity.  The main channel is not fishing that great, but back and side channels along with the mouths of tributaries have been doable options.  You’re better off heading up to Rock Creek and getting into the Salmon Flies while they’re hot, but if…

  With the warmer weather and chance of showers forecast through the weekend, you can count on the Clark Fork to keep rising bit by bit.  The clarity has diminished considerably with the increase in flows.  The fishing has been very limited, mostly to the back and side channels and any slow water close to…

  The Bitterroot has made a pretty decent drop in flows down to 6100cfs then shot back up to 7100cfs. The clarity is not that good.  The back and side channels should offer some refuge from the higher flows, but the main stem is definitely high and off color. You’re better off heading up to…

  Rock Creek’s flow has stabilized considerably around 1200 cfs with good clarity. If you’re looking to catch the first wave of salmon flies, it’s on! The Big bugs are crawling around on the lower half in good numbers and the fish are chowing them in spades! If you’re heading up here, bring any big…

  The Blackfoot is back on the up flow from the warmer nights we’ve been having.  It looks like the high elevation snow is just starting to get released with the warmer nights we’ve had.  The flow is up too 2800cfs and will probably keep climbing for now.  There have been some reports of a…

  It’s looking like the warmer nights are starting to release the high elevation snow gradually in some drainages.  The flows below the confluence of the blackfoot are starting to rise slowly, but everything above is holding moderately stable or dropping.  The fishing has been pretty darn good with the whole gambit of drys, nymphs,…
