  The Clark Fork has been our best fishing locally for the last week or two. The Clark has definitely dirtied up a bit from the rain, but should fish fine. They’re still taking larger bugs on the surface, but are definitely interested in miniature mayflies when the time calls for it. For dries, use…

  The weatherman says that today will be chilly, but it’s hard to know what to believe anymore. Just know that, regardless of the weather, Rock Creek is fishing quite well, and is worth your time this fall. Streamer fishing has been very good lately. For streamers use sculpzillas, complex twist buggers, skiddish smolts, and…

  The Bitteroot has jumped up in flows from all the rain, but still is fishing pretty well. Mahoganies and baetis are working hard out there to make this another good fall in your fishing journal. So far, they’re succeeding! By and large you can get by fishing a variety of mayfly offerings in the…

  It’s been taking awhile for things to get going on the surface for sure lately, but when they do, there are a few hours of VERY good dry fly action for some really nice sized fish. We’ve been doing well with widely spaced mahogany droppers off the back of October caddis. Having the mahogany…

Just know that, regardless of the weather, Rock Creek is fishing quite well, and is worth your time this fall. For dry flies, use mahoganies, chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, BWOs, Rocky Mtn Mints, purple hazes, October caddis, and…

  The streamer fishing has definitely ratcheted up a few notches recently and brown or black woolhead stuff stripped just below the surface is turning some monster fish for us with near dry fly like strikes – GOOD STUFF! The dry fly fishing is okay but it has been of short duration with nymphs on…

  The Bitteroot has started to rise again from the rain. More rain on the way this weekend so, get it while its good.The entire river has been fishing well as of last day or two and that includes the lower river in sunny conditions. Mostly a mahogany deal which is nice since it keeps…

  Rock Creek is on the rise again from the rain but, should still fish alright.The streamer fishing is day to day and section to section on the creek these days, but if you hit it right, there are some good fish to be had. The dry fly action has been decent but not red…
