With the warm weather in the forecast, you can expect to see your first real window of dry fly fishing about to kick off soon. It’s still a little early for the skwalas to start popping, but the word on the street is they’ve been eating the random chubby if you work it. The…

The water temps on the Blackfoot have been hitting 40 degrees during the day and the flow is rising just over 1000 cfs. Most of the boat launches are completely buried by snow, so wade fishing will be your best option. Most of the fish are still being caught mid river in their winter holds…

      The Bitterroot is sitting at 1400cfs at Bell Crossing. The clarity is good. The Skwala’s are still pretty dormant (for now) but the fish are starting to look up. We have seen Skwala adults here and there, but it should turn on here any day now. For top water patterns use a…

For nymphs, use prince nymphs, copper Johns, micro mayflies, caddis pupae, san juan worms, etc. For streamers, use black, olive, rust, and…

Stick to nymphs and streamers, unless you see some bugs flying around. For dries use October caddis, tricos, BWOs, elk hair caddis, Orange…

This is a great time of year to find solitude up on the creek. For nymphs use big green machines, prince nymphs, rubber legs, eggs, lightning bugs, and…
