Missouri River Fishing Report – 10/2
The forecast has changed, and it calls for some rain today. The Baetis are coming off occasionally, and when they do, it’s really good. Bigger stuff is still working, like caddis, hoppers, and bigger mayflies. Smaller stuff is great, like BWOs and pseudos. Nymphing is good, especially with smaller mayfly nymphs. For dry flies,…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/2
The Clark Fork has been our best fishing locally for the last week or two. They’re still taking larger bugs on the surface, but are definitely interested in miniature mayflies when the time calls for it. For dries, use rusty spinners in the evening, elk hair and Goddard caddis in the evening, tricos, mayfly…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 10/2
The guide reports off the Blackfoot the last few days have been marginal. It sounds like the weather and water temps made things pretty tough. That being said, there is still plenty of bug action. It should be clear and consistent until next week, so things should level out a bit. For…

Missouri River Fishing Report – 9/30
It should be a cool and cloudy week over here, but I wouldn’t expect too much precipitation. Hatches of smaller mayflies are happening every day. The Baetis come off occasionally, and when they do, it’s really good. Bigger stuff is still working, like caddis, hoppers, and bigger mayflies. Smaller stuff is great, like…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 9/30
The guide reports off the Blackfoot the last few days have been marginal. It sounds like the weather and water temps made things pretty tough. There is still plenty of bug action, but hopefully some consistent weather this week will level out the conditions a little bit. For dries use October caddis,…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 9/30
“Why am I thus scared by fearful visions of the night? O Earth, dread queen, mother of dreams that flit on sable wings!” Today could be a little rainy, but the rest of the week is supposed to clear up nicely. The fishing has been very solid on the Bitterroot. We’re seeing a lot…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 9/30
We’ve had guide boats out on the lower Clark Fork for the last few days, and the reports have been really good. The fish are still more than willing to take the hopper on top, along with bigger mayfly patterns. For dries, use rusty spinners in the evening, elk hair and Goddard caddis in…

Rock Creek Fishing Report – 9/30
I’d say you should expect to see the bummer weather we were supposed to have this weekend roll in today, but it’s hard for me to trust forecasts anymore. Go out and fish. It should be good, regardless of what’s overhead. For dry flies, use mahoganies, chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, PMDs, BWOs, bullet head stones,…

Rock Creek Fishing Report – 9/28
No rain like we thought, but the fishing should be just fine. We’ve had our transition weather days, so head out like you normally would. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, PMDs, BWOs, bullet head stones, half downs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk hair caddis, and para wulffs. For sub surface patterns use…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 9/28
Looks like we might not be getting the rain we had expected this weekend. The clouds and cooler weather are certainly here though, which mean that BWOs should still be on the menu. For dries, use rusty spinners in the evening, elk hair and Goddard caddis in the evening, tricos, mayfly duns and cripples,…
