  The Bitterroot’s water temps have been hanging in the 60’s with the flows dropping to a more than wade-able level.  The PED and caddis fishing in the evenings has been great, and the PMD spinner falls in the mornings have also been noteworthy but the mid day has been a little slow with the…

  The dry fly fishing has been pretty darn good.  The best luck has been in the morning and evenings but the mid day fishing has still been worth while.  There are caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and yellow sallies available during the rest of the day. For dry flies, use…

  With the summer weather hitting its peak the fishing is still holding strong.  The water temps are still reasonable and the morning and evening fishing has been great.  Attractor dries and dry/dropper rigs (PRINCE NYMPHS) are working really well, along with PMDs, caddis, and yellow sallies when the occasion calls. For dries, use elk…

Fishing has been consistently great on the Blackfoot so far this summer, with tons of dry fly action. The best setup is still the dry/dropper rig, but single dries have been doing good work too. For dries use Chernobyls, Stimulators, Rogue stones, half downs, bullet heads, parachute adams, purple hazes and elk hair caddis. For…

  Rock Creek has now dropped well past it’s historical average flow and is getting nothing but more inviting to wade fisherman.  The hotter days are definitely getting the caddis moving in the evenings now too. Golden stones, caddis, and green drakes are the main menu items today. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators,…

  The Bitterroot is still holding decent flows with a flow around 2400cfs and good clarity.  The fishing on the East and West Fork has been a good option with the colder water and lower flows and the morning and evening fishing has been great.  As with everything, it’s standard summer fare. Dry/dropper or picking…

  The Clark Fork has been fishing really well all over. The upper sections are good, but starting to get pretty low, so expect to drag a bit if you’re floating. Attractor dries and dry/dropper rigs (PRINCE NYMPHS) are working really well, along with PMDs, caddis, and yellow sallies when the occasion calls. For dries,…

  The Clark Fork flows are on as steady of a drop as you could imagine; straight as an arrow, especially on the lower end. Fishing has been solid throughout the whole river, and the chubby-dropper setup is hard to beat this time of year. For dries, use elk hair and Goddard caddis’ in the…

  The fishing up here has been an all day deal and definitely worth the trip up.  Things might slow down mid day with the heat but will start right back up around 6 – 7pm.  Hot weather means big time caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and yellow sallies available during…
