  • Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 4/28

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 4/28

      The Blackfoot’s flows are just slipping down past 2800cfs and will probably start to rise again later today with the warmer temps we have on forecast.  Streamers and nymphs are going to be the name of the game but you may still see some top water action tight to the banks. For streamers use…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 4/28

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 4/28

      The Clark Fork is seeing the same trend that all our rivers are seeing with a drop in flows from the weekend.  Today’s weather will start to change that again with a forecast high close to 80 degrees.  The lower river is still over 10,000cfs so if you’re looking to head out today I…

  • Bitterroot Fishing Report – 4/25

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 4/25

      The Bitterroot just above town is off color and creeping past 3000cfs with the rain and weather we’ve been having.  The back and side channels are going to be your best bet with the conditions, but you can still find some fish in the main channel.  Fishing streamers and tandem nymph rigs will be…

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 4/25

      The flow on the Clark Fork above town looks like it’s going to creep past 5,000cfs.  The flow below town at St.Regis will probably hit 10,000cfs. With that and the clarity on most the river being far less than ideal you’re probably better off finding other options.  If I can’t talk you out of…

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 4/25

    The flow just above the confluence is sitting around 2900cfs and will probably go up a little more with the weather we’ve been having.  Streamers and nymphs are going to be the name of the game. For streamers use Dalai lamas, Flash minnows, Sparkle minnows, and anything big dark and articulated. For nymphs use pheasant…

  • Rock Creek Fishing Report – 4/25

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 4/25

      The Flows up here have really taken off over the last couple days.  With the rain on tap, it’s going to be a few days before this river really starts fishing again.  You can still find workable water close to the banks and in the side channels but the main stem is pushing some…

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 4/21

    The reports from the Blackfoot these last few days have been pretty good.  The warmer weather has had little effect on the flows since most of our mid elevation snow is already gone and the water color is that emerald green everyone loves.  The bugs are definitely out now with Grey drakes and March browns. …

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 4/21

      The warmer weather that we’ve had has had little effect on the flows in our area, and the Bitterroot has been no exception.  The flow just above town is just under 2600cfs and the clarity is solid.  There are all kinds of bugs coming off now, last night we were even seeing some sedges…

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 4/21

      The Clark Fork is seeing the biggest push of water in the area, which still hasn’t been that much to date.  The flows went up about 300 cfs in the last day and a half which is a little more than expected but the clarity is still decent enough to fish.  The bugs have…

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 4/21

    Rock Creek’s top water action has been very productive lately.  Reports have been very consistent with March browns, grey drakes, and skwalas on top.  The flow at the bottom is creeping past 670cfs and the clarity is staying solid.  There should be a little more water coming, but nothing that will blow the river out…
