The Kingfisher Fly Shop

The flow on the Blackfoot this morning is on the rise from the rains.  The wind gusts are projected to hit 41 today.  Hmmm . . . .    You may want to pick another day this week if that’s an option.  The rest of the week looks good.  It’s definitely fall fishing up here these…

The wind is going to be a big time issue today as is the suddenly spiking flows due to heavy rains and fire denuded slopes.  It’s virtually blowing out this morning . . . *The Kingfisher U of M accredited fly fishing class rods are once again available while supplies last.*   1/2 OFF Fridays.…

*** Up, up and awaaaaay as of later this morning . . . risiing big time!***  The creek has been pretty good recently although you may have your work cut out for you today in the gale force winds they’re calling for.  The rest of the week looks nearly ideal, but today . . .…

Today looks to be the most windy day of the week with anticipated gusts of up to 41 mph.  NOT good Clark Fork weather to say the least.  In general, the cooler nights have been moving the best of the dryfly action closer to the middle of the day.  On the typical day, decent nymphing…

More nice cloud cover, cooler temps and higher humidity today – yee haw! The Clark has been fishing well.   Like most of the area rivers, the cooler nights have been moving the best of the dryfly action closer to the middle of the day.  Decent nymphing and streamer fishing can be had pretty much right…

Some good fishing along the entire creek these days using drakes, mahoganies, baetis, caddis.  The most consistent dryfly action for us lately, has been on the upper river.  Going around the long way through Pburg makes for a nice drive through good scenery and will keep your fillings and motor mounts in place by allowing…

Looks like a bit of wind on tap for today, but by Missouri standards, it’s not a day killer.  Your best bet over here is still the tandem nymph setup as we await the more robust hatches of October to arrive.  That being said, there are still fish will to take generic mayfly offerings and…

It’s fast becoming a fall menu for the Bitterroot fatties.  With baetis, mahoganies and fall drakes all coming off up here right now, darker bodied mayflies ranging from size 12 cripples and button emergers to small parachute Adams/purple haze stuff in 16s to 20s are working well.  We’re also seeing enough of the big fall…

The flow on the Blackfoot this morning is 561cfs and fishing it has been fishing well.  The river has been a bit moody in the suddenly cooler weather, especially on top, but you can generally find the bite with some searching.  Some days it’s as simple as a #12 or 14 royal Wulff and the…

The Blackfoot is running 488 cfs this morning and fishing well.  The cloud cover should do good things for you as some of the fall hatches begin to show up for real.  There are October caddis, drakes some mahoganies and still a bevy of terrestrials like hoppers, bees and ants.  The dryfly fishing is taking…
