    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 7/29

    Spruce moths are ON up here. I’ve heard the phrase, “biggest spruce moth hatch I’ve ever seen on Rock Creek” uttered in the shop a few times already this week. Get it while it’s good. There are caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and yellow sallies available during the rest of the…

  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 7/27

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 7/27

        The Missouri is holding steady around 4400cfs, which is quite normal for this time of year. The summer algae is starting to build up, so nymphing can be a little messy at times. There are dry fly opportunities to be had. Tricos are buzzing around nearly every day, interspersed with caddis, PMDs, and…

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 7/27

    A peek at the flow graph might make it seem as though Rock Creek bumped huge from the recent brief rain, but in reality, it bumped less than 100cfs, so it’s not a big deal. Overall, Rock Creek has been fishing very well. There are caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and…

  • Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 7/27

        Blackfoot flows are right where they should be right now, and the fishing is good. Head out in the mornings and evenings for the best action, because the middle of the day slows down with the heat. The best setup is still the dry/dropper rig, but single dries have been doing good work…

  • Bitterroot Fishing Report – 7/27

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 7/27

    The Bitterroot, particularly on the upper stretches like the West Fork, have been fishing very well, with a lot of action on top. With the flows continuing to drop, the wade fishing is getting better and better. For dries, use BWOs, PMDs, green drakes, yellow sallies, caddis, Golden stones and other attractor patterns. For nymphs,…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 7/27

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 7/27

    The Clark Fork has been fishing really well all over. The upper sections are good, but starting to get pretty low, so expect to drag a bit if you’re floating. Attractor dries and dry/dropper rigs (PRINCE NYMPHS) are working really well, along with PMDs, caddis, and yellow sallies when the occasion calls. For dries, use…
