  • Bitterroot Fishing Report – 11/23

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 11/23

        Like the other rivers in the Missoula area, the Bitterroot will have the occasional nice fishing day during the winter months. Usually it’s after or during a warm spell. Double nymph rigs are always the best choice when it’s cold, but there’s always the chance that you’ll see some fish sipping tiny mayflies.…

  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 2/13

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 2/13

       This river’s been fishing well with the nicer weather but you won’t be alone.  The boat traffic has been heavy but the fishing is worth it.  Use deep tandem nymph rigs and streamers for your best luck.  Take advantage of this weather while you can, who knows when the snow will be back…  …

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 11/9

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 11/9

        Frigid and windy is not a good combination for the Clark Fork. Things are going to get really rough here in a hurry, so it might be time to avoid the Clark Fork for a bit. For dries, use October caddis, mayfly duns and cripples, BWOs, small attractor patterns. For nymphs, use Pat’s…

  • Rock Creek Fishing Report – 11/9

        The fishing on Rock Creek has been really good, especially underneath the surface, but we’re about to be seeing ice on our guides, so things are going to be tough this week. Tough enough that I might not even recommend leaving the fireplace. For dry flies, use October caddis, mahoganies, chubby Chernobyls, stimulators,…

  • Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 11/9

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 11/9

          It’s been cold up on the Blackfoot for a couple weeks now, and this icy blast that we’re scheduled to get will only make it worse. If you’re wild enough to brave the freeze, this probably isn’t where you want to be. For dries use October caddis, tricos, BWOs, elk hair caddis,…

  • Bitterroot Fishing Report – 11/9

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 11/9

      The bird hunting should get awesome this week with the front moving in, but the fishing will undoubtedly suffer. It’s going to be really cold, so if you do any fishing, it should be subsurface. For dry flies, use parachute adams, October caddis, tricos, BWOs, baetis, and attractors. For nymphs, use prince nymphs, copper…

  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 11/9

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 11/9

           We’re in for it now. This week will be snowy and very cold. The fishing on the Missouri has been pretty good with streamers and very good with nymphs, but all that should change with the front moving in this evening. It might be better to stay bundled up this week. For…

  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 11/2

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 11/2

        There’s a chance of snow out here on the Missouri today. Things should be back up in the uppper 50s by the end of the week, but for now, pile on the layers. Nymph fishing is the best bet, but streamers and the occasional rising fishing could convince one to change it up.…

  • Bitterroot Fishing Report – 11/2

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 11/2

        The weather might be a little wonky out on the Bitterroot this week. Hopefully it won’t turn off the fishing. Anything subsurface should provide some resistance to fluctuation. For dry flies, use parachute adams, October caddis, tricos, BWOs, baetis, and attractors. For nymphs, use prince nymphs, copper Johns, micro mayflies, caddis pupae, san…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 11/2

        Reports from the Clark Fork have been marginal. With the weather being how it is, keeping your bugs below the surface will be the best approach for catching fish. For dries, use October caddis, mayfly duns and cripples, BWOs, small attractor patterns. For nymphs, use Pat’s rubber legs, micro stones, prince nymphs, double…
