  The Bitteroot is slowly on the drop and is starting to fish better everyday. The flows should stay on the drop as long as the temps stay reasonably cool and we don’t get a substantial amount of rain. The flow just above town is just under 4170 cfs and the clarity is a little…

  The flow above Bonner crept down past 3100cfs. With the flows as high as they are, it’s definitely much more of a boaters game right now. If you are wade fishing, your best luck is going to be walking the banks and cherry picking the pocket water and obvious pools. Streamers and nymphs are…

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 Clark Fork is pushing a lot of water right now! The flows are at just below 10,000 cfs below Missoula. Upper and lower Clark Fork probably won’t be worth your time honestly. Check back later for more updates! Other Info: The Kingfisher is the largest dealer of Simms Fishing Products in the Rocky…

  The warmer weather has had some substantial effect on the flows in our area, and the Bitterroot has been no exception. The flow just above town is just under 4660 cfs and the clarity is a little dirty. By no means is The Bitteroot “blown out”, but still is pushing a fair amount of…

  The Clark Fork Is just getting going. The flows are on the rise, so it might take a couple days to get back in the swing of things. The mornings have been a little cold still, but by mid day things should be warmed up enough to start rockin and rollin. Nymph fishing has…

Rock Creek is on the rise with clarity becoming a issue. With some colder nights in the forecast the river should level off or start dropping. It could be a good weekend to tie flies instead. If your desperate, your best bet by far is going to be nymphing until we really see some more…

The Blackfoot flows are on the rise like most of the Missoula area rivers. Most of the boat launches are completely buried by snow, so wade fishing will be your best option. With this recent push of water, fish will be pushed from their winter holding water and will be holding on the banks and…

The Bitteroot is rapidly on the rise from the warm weather and rain. The first little wave of skwala’s have been spotted over the past couple days, but river conditions are making things difficult. Wade fishing will be your best option, along with looking for walking pace water and smaller braids off the main channel.…

  The Clark Fork Is just getting going. The mornings have been a little cold still, but by mid day things should be warmed up enough to start rockin and rollin. Nymph fishing has been the most consistent by far but I have been getting some really good reports on streamers too. For nymphs count…
