**Open from 8am-12pm for the 4th** With the flows continuing to drop, the Blackfoot has continued to fish really well. Don't expect to be alone out here, though. Everyone wants to see what the hype is about. Green drakes, goldenstones, salmonflies, and caddis are all on the menu. Salmonflies are pretty much don, but you can still find fish looking...

**Open from 8am-12pm for the 4th** Rock Creek has continued to drop, but still is pretty high for wade fishing. The upper half will be your best bet. Floating season has wrapped up, so the creek should be pretty quiet after the holiday. The hotter days are definitely getting the caddis moving in the evenings now too. Golden stones, caddis...

Rain, lots of rain! Most of the Missoula area rivers are high and off color. Hopefully Rock Creek drops back into shape for the weekend. We'll keep you posted. PMD's are right around the corner, so get tying!   HATCHES: Salmonflies, BWOs, Caddis, Drakes, Golden Stones WEATHER:

The fishing has been better on the upper end of the Bitterroot than the lower, but as a whole, it's still not the best option locally. The flow is dropping steady, so it shouldn't be too long before it starts fishing well again. That being said, fast and dirty water is still a reality out here. If you do fish...

  The Clark Fork flows are on a steady drop and is starting to become a good option. Above town and below town. Fish are finally starting to look up. The dropper is still pulling most of the fish, but you'll pull in a few on the dry. For dries, use elk hair and dancing caddis' in the evening. Chubbies...

What more can we say other than, "you should go"!! You have 4 more days that you can fish from a boat on the creek, so if you've been putting it off, better get it done soon. Drakes, PMDs, golden stones, caddis, it's all good right now. Rain or shine, you can expect good topwater action with decent nymphing and...

The Blackfoot as it continues to drop, but keeps getting hammered by rainstorms. Monture creek muddied up big time, so be ready for changing conditions day to day. "Feast or famine" seems to be the theme, as far as the fishing goes. The fish have either been chowing, or stuffed from the day before. This is pretty common during the...

The fishing up here has been very worth while and the flows are on the drop again. The river is fishing well during the day, but really comes alive in the evening. Salmonflies, goldenstones, green drakes, and caddis are all on the menu. For dries use big elk hair caddis, tiltwing drakes, film critic cripples, chernobyls, stimulators, Rogue stones, water...

Rock Creek flows have hung around 2000cfs and is a good option for floaters. This is not the river for inexperienced oarsmen, or personal watercraft at these flows. Wade fisherman should head to the upper end where flows are more manageable. Dry fly fishing has been pretty silly, with green drakes, goldenstones, and salmonflies being the main course. They seem...

The West Fork is where you want to be. It's still pretty high, but salmonflies are out and the fish have been chowing. The main stem is still pretty big and off color. You'll see some salmonflies out and about, but have some goldens as well. Stay safe and have a good weekend!   HATCHES/Flies: Caddis, Salmonflies A Review of...
