  The Blackfoot has continued to drop through the week and has stabilized nicely.  The flow above Bonner is sitting at 2500cfs and should keep dropping slowly.  The big bugs (salmon flies) have made their first appearance but not quite in any big numbers yet.  The fish have been looking up for them with Rogue…

    The Clark Fork is Staying pretty stable until you get below the Bitterroot confluence.  The flows are starting to see a little bump below town, but the fishing above should definitely be worth your while.  Dry dropper rigs and tandem nymph rigs should be your best bet, but word on the street is…

  Rock Creek is still holding strong with a flow of a little over 1150cfs and decent clarity.  The Salmon Flies have just started popping and the fish are chowing them in good numbers.  This has come a little earlier than usual but the conditions are spectacular for’em.  Big rogue Salmon flies, sofa pillows, orange…

  The Clark Fork has been dropping quick the last few days.  The flow below town is under 9000cfs and should continue to drop until we get another dose of warm weather.  Dry/dropper rigs and tandem nymphs have been fishing the best hands down, but the dry fly fishing is definitely present so be prepared…

  Rock creek’s flows have been crashing the last few days.  The river has become much more wader friendly and the clarity is improving.  The best fishing has been up high where things have been a little less affected by the conditions, but the lower rivers is fishing too.  the Flow down low is sitting…

    The Blackfoot is stepping up a little in flow with each day and will probably continue to do so until high water really kicks off.  The flow above Bonner is stepping past 3450cfs with mediocre clarity.  The fishing is going to be marginal with the funky conditions, but still worth the trip before…
