Bitterroot Fishing Report – 8/30
The Bitterroot is the hot spot right now. Hecubas, tricos, big PMDs. For as frustrating as the Bitterroot has been this summer, it’s about time that it started being good and reliable. For dries, use large parachute adams, PMDs, Small baetis, purple hazes, tricos, drakes, caddis, Golden stones, hoppers, and other attractor patterns. For…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 8/30
The lower end of the Clark Fork has been fishing quite well the last few days, that is, if you’re not afraid of the infamous pikeminnow. Trek through the “rough,” and you’ll be rewarded with some fat rainbows. For dries, use elk hair and Goddard caddis in the evening, tricos, PMDs and PEDs, attractor…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 8/30
If the Bitterroot fishing well diverts some attention away from the Blackfoot, that wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. The Blackfoot has had a great summer, but that also means that it’s been quite popular. It’s still the late-summer stuff up here right now, so get out and have fun while…

Rock Creek Fishing Report – 8/30
Rock Creek is back to where it was before the rain, as far as the flow is concerned. It’s a late-summer game now, and it’s fishing well. 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…

Missouri River Fishing Report – 8/28
Hoot Owl Restrictions have been put in place for the Dearborn, Smith, and Sun rivers. Tricos in the morning, hoppers in the afternoon. That’s your schedule for success over here at the moment. The caddis have been relatively absent, and the nymphing is a poor choice, if only for the algae that’s still around.…

Rock Creek Fishing Report – 8/28
Rock Creek is back on the drop. Some of the best streamer fishing on Rock Creek starts right about now. Toss that in with some really good late-summer dry fly action, and there’s really no reason to not be out here. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, PMDs, BWOs, bullet head stones, half downs,…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 8/28
The Hecubas are starting to announce their presence on the Bitterroot, and this is reason to be excited. Big hatches of big mayflies later in the season is a ton of fun, and the Bitterroot is historically reliable for providing good Hecuba action. For dries, use large parachute adams, PMDs, Small baetis, purple hazes, tricos,…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 8/28
With the Blackfoot leveled out, it’s ripe for some great fishing (not that it hasn’t been great). The spruce moths have faded, but the hopper fishing is still quite good. For dries use tricos, big PMDs, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, Stimulators, half downs, bullet heads, parachute adams, and purple hazes. For nymphs use…
