Missouri River Fishing Report – 7/8
The Missouri flow chart looks like a randomly generated map from Pocket Tanks right now. It just can’t seem to hold a steady flow out of the dam, but it shouldn’t have too large of an impact on the fishing, especially if you’re in a boat. There are still many pods of rising…

On a Quest
We have been hearing rumors of an old abandoned mine, left over from the mining days. So this weekend co-owner Matt Potter and his 7 year old son Leo packed a lunch and went looking. We earned it hiking in but, once we hit the water the fishing was great – AND we found the…

Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 7/6
Although still higher than average flows for this time of year, the Clark Fork is really coming in to shape. With the upper river clearing up, and the lower river definitely below 20,000cfs, we could see some solid early summer fishing this coming week. The caddis are thick down on Fish Creek, so the main…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 7/6
The Bitterroot has reverted back to the daily yo-yo game with flows. The average has leveled out a little bit, but this river in particular has been a tough one to pin down in the recent weeks. The upper river is a better choice than the lower. If you’re in the area, feel free to…

Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 7/6
The Blackfoot is on a big drop, down to a little below 3000cfs. Even with the additional pressure it’s been receiving, it is fishing well. We’ve been seeing good numbers of golden stones, yellow sallies, BWOs and caddis. Salmon flies will still catch fish, but they’re fading out. The best fishing is still right off…

Missouri River Fishing Report – 7/6
Peaking at around 7000cfs with this most recent rise, the Missouri has started to level out just a little bit. When the wind is calm, the dry fly fishing has been awesome, but nymphing is still the reliable method. For dry flies, we’re looking at PMD cripples, standard Adams parachutes, midge clusters, elk hair caddis,…

Golden stones, caddis, and green drakes are the ticket now, as the salmonflies have tapered off considerably. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, bullet head…
