The root has been fishing pretty good lately, but its only going to get better in the coming weeks. The Bitterroot is still pretty low and clear, but the trout are slowly turning on to the idea of eating the dry. The freezing night time temps are not helping the bugs out, but you can still see a skwala or...

The early spring capnias and nemouras are out and occasionally you will find a trout willing to come up and eat. Old man winter is still clinging on. The freezing night time temps are tough on the bugs. Haven't seen any skwalas, but it won't be long. Small dark stimulators, bugmeisters, super beetles, ant-acids, and Freed's summer stone in sizes...

Skwalas!!!! They're here... but not quite.  I've heard good reports of fish eating sporadically on top, just not any naturals popping yet.  The really consistent action has been taking place with nymph rigs and streamers.  That could change any day now with the spring weather upon us.  Definitely be prepared with some top water patterns.  The flow just above town...

The early spring capnias and nemouras are out and occasionally you will find a trout willing to come up and eat. Small dark stimulators, bugmeisters, super beetles, ant-acids, and hippie stompers in sizes 16 and 18 will do the trick. A fair amount of midges are on the water and in select water you can find a few trout willing...

Old man winter is back, but his days are numbered! March and daylight saving time is soon on the horizon. The early spring capnias & nemouras(spring stones) are going to start popping soon, and when they do, the fish are definitely going to notice. On the right day, midges have been hatching and accumulating in back eddies. Every now and...

The Clark Fork has been fishing very well from top to bottom. They're still taking larger bugs on the surface, but are definitely interested in miniature mayflies when the time calls for it. For dries, use rusty spinners, midge clusters, purple roosters, Ptail parachute, tiltwing mahoganies, sprout baetis (button emergers), D&D cripples, October caddis, and orange PMXs.  For nymphs, use...

The weatherman says that today will be a little cooler than yesterday, but it's hard to know what to believe anymore. Just know that, regardless of the weather, Rock Creek is fishing quite well, and is worth your time this fall. Streamer fishing has been laughably GOOD. Sparkle minnows, mojo minnows, mini dungeons, and yellow yummies worked well for us...

It's been pretty chilly up on The Blackfoot lately, but once the day warms up the fishing has been good. October caddis, mahoganies, and baetis have been the main bugs on top. Streamer fishing on the Blackfoot is picking up big time. Just know that some of the biggest fish of the year are pulled when ripping streamers this time...

The Bitterroot has fished really well the last couple weeks, but the lack of cloud cover this week has been challenging. Having a long dropper has been key. Perdigons, frenchies, big green machines, Macgruber nymphs, soft hackle P-tails, and two bit hookers have been working well. Mostly a mahogany, fall drake, hecuba, and baetis deal. Hoppers are still getting chowed...
