  • Bitterroot Fishing Report – 3/14

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 3/14

      The skwalas have begun.  Yesterdays sunny weather got the first push of skwala dries flying around and the fish are looking up.  Today could be the first day of some really decent dry fly fishing so be prepared with a fistful of dry patterns just in case.  Bullet head skwalas, Gould’s half downs, Rogue…

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 3/14

    The water temps on the Blackfoot have been hitting 40 degrees during the day and the flow is sitting just over 1000 cfs.  Most of the fish are still being caught mid river in their winter holds but have seamed pretty game to eat streamers and nymphs.  Tandem nymph rigs have been the most productive…

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 3/10

      Skwalas!!!! They’re here… but not quite.  I’ve heard good reports of fish eating sporadically on top just not any naturals popping yet.  The really consistent action has been taking place with tandem skwala nymph rigs and streamers.  That could change any day now with the spring weather upon us.  Definitely be prepared with some…

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 3/10

      With the warm weather forecast for the rest of the week, you can expect to see your first real window of dry fly fishing about to kick off soon. It’s still a little early for the skwalas to start popping up here, but the word on the street is they’ve been eating the random…

  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 3/10

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 3/10

    For spring fishing, The Missouri has been fishing pretty good. With the warmer weather you should see a nice window of midge fishing on top, but you can count on streamers and nymphs to work for sure. For nymphs use Blood midges, zebra midges, small pheasant tails, and Serendipity’s. If you see anything on top…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 3/10

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 3/10

        The Clark Fork Is just getting going.  The mornings have been a little cold still, but by mid day things should be warmed up enough to start rockin and rollin.  Nymph fishing has been the most consistent by far but I have been getting some really good reports on streamers too.  For nymphs…

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 3/3

        The Bitterroot is slowly dropping down from the miniscule push of water that we had from the warmer weather. And with the weather on tap for next week, you can expect things to get pretty good over here.  If you’re heading out today, you can count on tandem nymph rigs to work best. …

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 3/3

    With the water temps hanging around 34 degrees, the fishing up here is still a little slow.  Expect fish to be in their main winter holds like deep pools and troughs.  Your best bet is still nymphing or dead drifted streamers until the water warms up a bit. Big heavy stonefly nymphs like a double…

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 3/3

    For spring fishing, The Missouri has been fishing pretty good.  It has been very dependent on the weather conditions, mostly just if its freezing outside or not.  With the coming warmer weather you should see a nice window of midge fishing on top, but you can count on streamers and nymphs to work for sure. …
