Beginning in April, once a week we will post a brief description of a rig we saw during the previous week that had one of our Kingfisher stickers on the window. When you recognize it as being your car described in our hatch report, stop into the shop and pick out 2 dozen nymphs or dries on us!

Rock Creek keeps jumping up day by day making it’s flow around 1000 cfs at the bottom today. With the blatantly unpleasant weather on tap, you may want to stay home and eat animal crackers.  But if you’re planning on fishing up here today, It would be a good idea to go in from the top through Philipsburg where the water is a little skinnier.  Your best fishing today is going to be with tandem nymph rigs and streamers. For streamers, smaller sized black or olive buggers or a smaller sculpin pattern should work.  Use a pheasant tail, black or olive double beaded stone, San Juan worm, fast water prince or red copper John for your nymph rig.  Look for your best fishing to be right off the river bank or in any side channels you can find.

If you own and iPad 1 or 2, we have 6 MFC original iPad covers to give away.  The first people through the door get’em!!! If you come in with a kingfisher tattoo on your forehead you can have two!!!

Browns Lake is iced off, open and fishing well. However, the private land owners surrounding Browns Lake are now enforcing there NO trespass rights. All the bank fishing with the exception of the public land at the south and east sides of the lake is now closed to walking. We have provided a map showing the property lines and places to legally access the lake. The boundaries highlighted with green are open to the public.
