  • Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 8/14

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 8/14

      If you’re looking for good all day fishing, the Blackfoot is holding strong through the summer heat.  The Hoppers have really started getting chowed but they’re still eating spruce moths in good numbers as well.  The best luck has been with hopper dropper rigs fished mid-river but streamers have been turning some big fish…

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 8/14

      The Bitterroot is still holding decent flows and should continue through the summer despite the weather.  The fishing on the East and West Fork has been a good option with the colder water and the morning and evening fishing has been great.  As with everything, it’s standard summer fare. Dry/dropper or picking off the…

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 8/14

      We’re still getting some great fishing up here through the mid-day, but the best windows are definitely mornings and evenings.  With the mid-day heat, you might half to go sub surface to get after the bigger fish, but a hopper dropper rig should be your best bet.  We are seeing spruce moths (still), caddis…

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 8/12

           The Blackfoot has displayed some really stellar fishing through the hot weather. Spruce moths and hoppers have been great, and dropping nymphs off either of those two is good. For dries use big elk hair caddis, spruce moth patterns, hoppers, Chernobyls, Stimulators, Rogue stones, half downs, bullet heads, parachute adams, and purple…

  • Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 8/12

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 8/12

    The standard approach for the Clark Fork during these hot times is the chubby/rubby setup (hopper/dropper for the non-locals). In the mornings and evenings you can find pods sipping on tiny mayflies, so give that a go for a chance at some larger fish. For dries, use elk hair and Goddard caddis’ in the evening,…

  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 8/12

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 8/12

        There are two ways to avoid the snot. One way is to post up below the dam and stay there. The other is to tie on some tiny tricos and fish the pods. Both might not sound all that appealing to certain people, but it’s the reality of the Mo at this point.…

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 8/12

    When it gets hot, we drag the depths. Feel free to toss dries in the mornings and evenings, but with 96 degree weather like we had yesterday, tie on some nymphs to drum up the deeper fish. We are seeing spruce moths (still), caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and yellow sallies…

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 8/12

    Fishing up on the West Fork has been quite good, although fishing on the lower end, closer to Missoula, should still be productive. As with everything, it’s standard summer fare. Dry/dropper or picking off the risers. For dries, use PMDs, tricos, drakes, yellow sallies, caddis, Golden stones, hoppers, and other attractor patterns. For nymphs, use…
