    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 4/11

    The Blackfoot has been on the steady drop this last week and should continue to fish well through the weekend.  The clarity is good and the flow just above Bonner is at 2200cfs.  The dry fly action has definitely been coming off mid afternoon with March browns and skwala’s still being the main menu items. …

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 4/11

      Rock Creek is still dropping and fishing decently.  The weekend is looking pretty good except for the cold weather, but that’s more of a comfort thing.  The flow at the bottom is dropping past 630cfs with good clarity.  The top water action has still been best in the late afternoon and warmer periods if…

      The creek is running just under 3 times the average volume of water for this time of year.  Fishing up here has been varying between fast and furiously average to spectacularly not too bad.  Mostly nymphing for success at this point with some widely scattered dry fly action on the warmer afternoons.  With the…

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 4/5

      To give you an idea of the degree of low elevation snow melt, the Clark Fork is running 12,000 cfs near St. Regis compared to the historical average of 5,470.  That’s significant when you consider these elevated water levels have been the norm for most of the early season so far.  That’s a lot…

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 4/25

      The flow on the Clark Fork above town looks like its going to creep past 5,000cfs and below town at St.Regis it’ll probably hit 10,000cfs.  The clarity has been getting worse with the rain we’ve been getting too.  You’re probably better off finding other options.  But if I can’t talk you out of it…
