The Kingfisher Fly Shop

The moderating daytime highs are helping to keep the fish looking up a bit more and with tricos in full swing right now and good afternoon caddis activity to boot, your prospects are pretty good.  The best dryfly action right now is early trio stuff, then again in the evening when the caddis do their…

Probably one of your best midday fishing options these days, and the morning and evening fishing is very good.  Like the Blackfoot, Rock Creek has more riffles and faster water than the ‘root or Clark Fork allowing the fish more protection from direct sunlight (fish do sunburn you know!) and predators.  The hatches are good…

Looks like the typical summer day of fishing up on the Blackfoot today. Nothing really new going on up here with decent fishing all day long. The fish are rising to PMDs early, attractors and terrestrials midday and caddis in the evenings.  Pulling streamers through the SHALLOW tail-outs of pools has been very effective for…

REPORT: If the heat keeps up as predicted, the decent midday fishing we’re having now will become a fond memory, get it while you can.   The evening caddis hatch remains consistent and is providing some of the best fishing of the day.  PMDs and opportunistic feeding on attractors will keep the surface action pretty good…

81 degrees today instead of 101 will feel damn near chilly!  It’ll help your fishing, too, by slowing down the water temperature increases.  Flows area wide continue to plummet and most of the rivers are peaking in the high 60 degree range these days. The upper and lower river is fishing pretty well midday, for…

There are good hatches of PMDs, caddis and hoppers and the fish are eating all of them.  The blazing midday sun won’t help your topwater prospects that much, but there will still be fish looking here and there.  The best dryfly action right now is early in the day and then again in the evening…

Yes, the shop is open today . . . . .The heat is definitely catching up with us now as flows continuing to fall and water temps creep upward.  Last year, water temps started becoming an issue around the 16th of July and this year, the rivers are running about 1/2 the volume of last…

REPORT: Water temps are moving upward and the unrelenting sun have the fish hunkering down on the Clark Fork midday these days.  Looks like you’re going to be dealing with more wind today also.  You can tag a few every now and then, but it’s not the feeding frenzy we’ve been enjoying on this river…

The Kingfisher is open today like we always are!  Fishing is still solid pretty much all day long on the Blackfoot these days provided you’re lathered up with sunscreen and protective clothing. Wind could become an issue by this afternoon though.  The fish are rising to PMDs early, attractors and terrestrials midday and caddis in…

**Of course we’re open today . . you’re fishing aren’t you!?** Probably one of your best midday fishing options these days, and the morning and evening fishing is very good.  Like the Blackfoot, Rock Creek has more riffles and faster water than the ‘root or Clark Fork allowing the fish more protection from direct sunlight…
