  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 10/23

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 10/23

        The word from some guide buddies is that the streamer fishing from the dam to Craig is lights out right now. Tossing streamers all day long can be tiresome, but it can be really rewarding when the fishing is like this. As always, you can depend on the nymph fishing to be good…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/23

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/23

      More rain and cooler temps in store for today, at least according to the forecast. It looks like we might finally be in the normal October weather. BWOs and streamers, nymphs if you’re feeling it. For dries, use rusty spinners in the evening, elk hair and Goddard caddis in the evening, tricos, mayfly duns…

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 10/23

      “Ye gods of this land! Preserve my son, the last and only anchor of my house, now settled in Thrace, the land of snow, safe in the keeping of his father’s friend. Some fresh disaster is in store, a new strain of sorrow will be added to our woe. Such ceaseless thrills of terror…

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 10/21

          For the first time this October the temperature isn’t going above the 60s on the 10-day forecast (or for the rest of the year, probably). It’s safe to say that standard October is finally here. For dries use October caddis, tricos, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, Orange Stimulators, parachute adams, and…

  • Rock Creek Fishing Report – 10/21

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 10/21

      It’ll be wet and cold today, which is what we’ve been missing this October. I’d expect the BWOs to be very active, and the streamer fishing to be a very good option. For dry flies, use mahoganies, chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, BWOs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk hair caddis, and para wulffs. For sub surface…

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 10/21

          The change in weather is upon us. The fishing on the Missouri might get even better than it has been, with small dries and streamers being the main focus. As always, you can depend on the nymph fishing to be good for you as well. For dry flies, use cripples, standard Adams…

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/21

      It’s very likely to rain on our parade today. The parade, of course, is the good fishing we’ve been having. That being said, the rain could turn on the BWOs and smaller mayflies in a big way, and the streamer fishing could pop off. For dries, use rusty spinners in the evening, elk hair…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/19

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/19

      When it’s not windy, the lower Clark Fork can produce some really great fishing this time of year. The upper river is also good, especially for those who prefer to wade. They’re still taking larger bugs on the surface, but are definitely interested in miniature mayflies when the time calls for it. October caddis…

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 10/19

      The forecast calls for 70 and clear again. This isn’t exactly the fall that we’re used to, but the fishing hasn’t suffered, at least not demonstrably. Mayflies, October caddis and streamers are what you should be focusing on for Rock Creek. For dry flies, use mahoganies, chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, BWOs, parachute adams, purple hazes,…
