  The Clark Fork is high and dirty. Upper Clark Fork can still be good this time of year, but is very inconsistent. Hopefully The Clark Fork will shape up again before run off begins. Stay tuned. Other Info: The Kingfisher is the largest dealer of Simms Fishing Products in the Rocky Mountains.    …

Rock Creek has slowly bumped up and is running pretty dirty. We did here our first report of skwalas on the creek. By no means is it “on”, but skwalas are starting to show up. Upper rock creek will be your best bet. Fishing a dry dropper in walking pace water has been very productive.…

The Blackfoot has slowly climbed to 3490cfs and has about 2 feet of visibility. The Blackfoot is flowing pretty big, but is definitely still fishing. With the higher flows, the fish are pushed up tight to the willows. Dry dropper combos have been the most productive. Double beaded stones, Pat’s rubber legs, Crown jewels, San…

    The Bitteroot has held steady right below 3000cfs at Bell Crossing. The fish are really starting to key in on skwalas and nemouras (in between the snow storms!). March browns should be popping any day now. We have seen a few here and there, along with some baetis. March brown nymphs, San Juans,…

  The Clark Fork is slowly dropping, but still is pretty big and dirty. You can probably still get it done, but I would go up Rock Creek or The Blackfoot instead. Streamer fishing or fishing skwalas in the slow water (if you can find any) will be your best bet. Other Info: The Kingfisher…

    The Bitteroot had a little bump in flows, but has been fishing very well. The fish are really starting to key in on skwalas. March browns should be popping any day now. March brown nymphs, San Juans, and skwala nymphs have been the ticket for subsurface. The flow just above town is just…

Rock Creek has stabilized, but is still pretty dirty. Upper rock creek will be your best bet. If your desperate, your best bet by far is going to be nymphing until we really see some more consistent dry fly action. For nymphing use double beaded stones, pat’s rubber legs, pheasant tails, sparkle stones, little black…

The Blackfoot has stabilized from the jump in flows that we had last week. The flows are sitting around 3000 cfs. The Blackfoot is flowing pretty big, but is definitely still fishing. Streamers and nymphs have been the most productive. Double beaded stones, Pat’s rubber legs, Crown jewels, San Juan worms, Jig stones, and Princes…
