“Woe, woe is me! What words, or cries, or lamentations can I utter? Ah me! For the sorrows of my closing years!” A good frost should mark the demise for our large lady mayfly, but until then (as September rolls along, this might come sooner than we’d like to admit) we can enjoy how much…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 9/6
“What is Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba, That he should weep for her?” The Hecuba mayfly is out and about on the Bitterroot. It’s been a little hit-or-miss out there the last few days, but those big fish eating big bugs should be enough reason to go out. For dries, use large parachute…

Missouri River Fishing Report – 9/6
The Hoot Owl restrictions have been lifted from the surrounding Missouri tributaries. Regarding the fishing, remember what I said last week? “Tricos, caddis, callibaetis, hoppers, etc. That is what it’s been for weeks, and what it will continue to be for the time being.” Well, that’s what it is. For dry flies, use cripples,…

Rock Creek Fishing Report – 9/4
As the weather gets colder, Rock Creek, and all the surrounding rivers for that matter, get less pressure. In fact, in the winter, Rock Creek can be pure solitude. This is what we have to look forward to. For now, use your mayflies, caddis, and hopper/dropper rigs with reckless abandon. For dry flies, use chubby…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 9/4
“Poor wretched captured Hecuba, after she saw her Polyxena dead and found her Polydorus on the beach, was driven mad by sorrow and began barking like a dog…” No, they don’t bark like dogs, but they’re big, and the fish love ’em. The Bitterroot has been fishing well recently, and is certainly worth your time…
