It’s up about 500 cfs in the past 2 days and will likely waffle up, then back down a bit more today.  No major pushed of water will arrive due to the heat, (the main push peaked on May 14th), but it will fluctuate enough to keep the fish off their game – at least…

REPORT: The sort of bump thingy that the other rivers have experienced due to the radical warm-up has left the creek pretty much unscathed.  The flow this morning is still a happy rowing and dryfly take inducing 844 cfs  and dropping.  It’s going to be just as good today as it has been recently.  Salmonlfies…

REPORT: The salmonflies are river-wide at this point, but most heavily concentrated mid river and lower. Fish are seeing enough of them, however, so fishing salmonfly dries is effective pretty much top to bottom.  A variety of bigger bugs are working such as 1/2 downs, Rogue salmonflies, big Para Madam Xs and even big royal…

The Blackfoot was giving up some exceptional streamer fishing in the dropping water conditions of a week ago but suffered an abrupt slowdown during the recent temporary push of water we saw.  Things seem to be coming back into shape quickly and we anticipate good stuff by the weekend.  The bright sun will also get…

REPORT: The Clark is recovering from the bump of a couple of days ago. At this point, the flow increases are down around St Regis with the rest of the river dropping. The lower river bump likely isn’t enough to put much of a damper on the fishing, especially the very good evening caddis action…

There is an annoying “wave” of water moving down the ‘root right now.  It was up top around Darby yesterday, and is manifesting itself mid river as of this morning.  The lower river will be bumping by this afternoon as the upper begins to fall back into fishing friendly levels.  The river near Bell is…

It’s kind of a transitional grab bag over here right now and very day to day in terms of what’s working.  We’re taking fish on everything from tiny hoppers to fish remembering the baetis willing to eat size 18 paras.  The sun isn’t helping your shallow water streamer fishing, but it’s been staying fairly consistent…

We got ’em long and deep – this ain’t our first rodeo. 1/2 OFF Fridays.  50% Off your 1st dozen nymphs and dries!  Every Friday – Every Week  

Good fishing on the Mo, still . . .!  What can we say, it has been a consistent monkey this year.  Lots of fish rising and lots of fish feeding just subsurface making a dry/dropper rig the way to go.  Droppers may have to be a bit deeper today in the bright conditions and you…

The uppermost river is fishing well again after the minor push of water we recently endured.  Salmonflies and golden stones are king up top while caddis and mayfly dries are motivating fish to the surface mid river and lower.  The bright sun today will help with getting the big bugs moving on the upper end,…
