Rock Creek Fishing Report – 9/23
Much like the Blackfoot, fishing Rock Creek this time of year means that you can fish with all items on the fly menu. Dries, nymphs, streamers, you name it. 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…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 9/23
On the Clark Fork, the big fish, especially through town, are all about the small flies right before sundown. Trico spinners will easily get you something in the 19inch range, assuming you find a pod or two. During the day, late summer and fall flies of many different water columns will get it done.…

Missouri River Fishing Report – 9/23
Fishing in September on the Missouri can be really good. Fortunately for us (and the remaining tourists), that is the case right now. Bigger stuff is still working, like caddis, hoppers, and bigger mayflies. Smaller stuff is great, like tricos and pseudos. Nymphing is both good and bad, but certainly worth your time…

Missouri River Fishing Report – 9/20
Some of the Missouri bruisers are starting to get a little picky. Small flies like tricos and baetis will do the trick. For those less discerning, hoppers and caddis will work, and the nymphing is picking up in a big way. For dry flies, use cripples, standard Adams parachutes, midge clusters, elk hair…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 9/20
“O awful crime! O deed without a name! Beggaring wonder! Impious! Intolerable! Where are now the laws ‘twixt guest and host? Accursed monster!” We might only see a few more of those as Hecuba begins her tragic exit, but for now, your 10-14 purple haze and parachute adams will catch fish. BWOs are buzzing…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 9/20
It all works on the Blackfoot this time of year. Dries, nymphs, streamers, it’s all good. October caddis have been sighted, so get out your Big Orange. For dries use tricos, big PMDs, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, Orange Stimulators, parachute adams, and purple hazes. For nymphs use Pat’s rubber legs, princes,…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 9/16
The dry fly fishing has been a little spotty with the funky weather conditions as we make the transition into fall. Morning and evening baetis fishing has been decent but mid day has been a little slow with most anglers switching to double nymph rigs. The hoppers are still jumping when the day heats…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 9/16
Oh man, the fishing is holding strong with the funky temp and weather differences as fall approaches. Hoppers are still bouncing around in good numbers when the day warms up and the October caddis are just starting to make an appearance, just not in huge numbers yet. The Fall Baetis can be expected in…
