REPORT: Get out your mayfly box, it’s going to be a green drake and PMD kinda day on the creek!  Expect to have good shooting top to bottom on Rock Creek today with a flow of 600 cfs near Clinton making for easy wading and semi decent floating (from a proximity to bank buddies perspective). …

You should have some decent fishing on the Blackfoot today in the cloudy weather, but we don’t think it’ll be as good as your other 3 immediate options.  It’s taking a bit longer for the clarity to come back up here . . .which is an issue.  Still, though, there will be some fish looking…

REPORT: The potential is there for this river to be a rock star today, it just depends on how windy it gets.  The lower river should be green drake central today and the subsurface action should be really solid too with dark buggers and/or brown rubber legs and San Juans.  Even if you’re not seeing…

Oh yeah!!  Happy happy!  The ‘root is going to rock today.  Rainy and warm conditions mean a mayfly extravaganza!  Green drakes and PMDs will have the fish looking to the surface pretty much all day long.  Everything from bigger button emergers to cripples to comparaduns should get you bent in today’s nearly ideal summer dryfly…

The the Mo fish are quite a bit more skittish in the bright conditions, but it’s definitely made for some great insect activity.  Tandem nymph rigs down deep under an indicator will almost certainly be your most effective approach again today although you should still encounter singles and pods willing to play on top.  Lots…

The bright sun is no longer a novelty on the ‘root and the fish have adapted.  Expect good fishing with golden stones, PMDs, drakes and then the later in the afternoon caddis blizzard which will go on into the evening.  We’ve been taking some nice fish on hoppers already and cripples seem to the the…

REPORT: It’s going down now like someone pulled the plug!  Good fishing top to bottom at this point with attractor dries, PMDs, golden stones and especially evening caddis.  The uppermost river is back on its size 10 orange/yellow stonefly kick as well as being streamer Nirvana, while the lower river is fishing best sowing the…

The first day of sun definitely knocked back the fishing a bit although subsurface it was still pretty good.  Yesterday was considerably better on top with big attractor/dropper stuff, salmonflies midriver and higher and then with caddis in the evening.  Look for more of the same in the dropping flows and summer daytime temps.  From…

REPORT: The creek is dropping like a stone at this point with a reading this morning of 645 cfs near Clinton.  This is a flow that means very good wading opportunities even down low.  Good numbers of golden stones, caddis, green drakes and PMDs have the fish looking to the surface.  There are still salmonflies…
