REPORTS: Still on the way up as of this morning.  It's not helping your piscatorial pursuits at all.  The upper end will likely be your best bet for the next few days, but even that is being hugely impacted by the increased water flows.  This river is notorious for FAST turn around, however, and could be a viable option even...

REPORTS: Well, if you want to trade Missoula's high water for a chance to get blown into North Dakota, the Mo is probably a good bet.  Too bad, too, because the cloud cover over here minus the wind would've made for some spectacular dryfly action.  It all depends on just how windy it gets.  From the sound if it, it's...

REPORTS: Like all the area rivers, the Clark is on the rise top to bottom with the exception of the uppermost river ~ it's a shot anyway.  We had been having pretty decent fishing with over-sized dries on the lower river during the first two days of bump, but at this point, there's just been too much of an increase...

REPORTS: When the sun hasn't been blazing, (mornings and evenings if there are no clouds), it's been good surface hunting over here. Lots of different things working in all disciplines - nymphs, streamers and on some days - dry flies. The nymphing has been silly. Pink or red nymphs are king. Scuds, Ray Charles and tiny egg patterns in pink...

**We will be open from nine until noon today - HAPPY EASTER!*** ***Gnarly and dangerous full river obstruction just below Tucker in "all of a sudden" position.*** Almost to the day, the beginning of April is looking like the real deal in terms of seriously good dry fly fishing for river-wide success locally. The Bitterroot is coming up fast as...

The Blackfoot is eating up this sunny warm weather, unfortunately, the hydrograph looks like it's radically on the rise this morning on the lower river. So far it's not a 200 cfs bump which is the critical number up here, and if it tails off, things could be good. Keep watching. The bugs are out and about in greater numbers...

REPORTS: **We're open 9 till noon today - HAPPY EASTER!** Like most of the area rivers, Rock Creek has clicked into "go mode" pretty suddenly. The consistency of the dryfly fishing over the past few days has gotten radically better as temps have warmed and bug activity has increased. While mostly a March Brown and caddis deal when fishing naturals...

REPORTS: It's still a diamond in the rough . . if you're a dryfly guy. If you don't mind being mesmerized by hotrod colored indicators, it's a well cut diamond as she sits! Still ok midging here and there with blue wings IN the wings. Waiting on a warm-up. Last week's cold spell didn't help with topwater or streamer action...

REPORTS: The Clark Fork has finally become a serious option.  LOTS more bugs out and about in the warmer weather have the fish hunting much more actively.  The streamer fishing in the mornings ,(and on cloudy afternoons), continues to be pretty good.  Black, brown or olive on any given day - rain or shine.   In the afternoons, especially on the...

The Blackfoot has been running about 200 cfs above historical averages on the lower end recently. The flow has stabilized over the past 5 days after a fairly sudden bump which had shut down the fishing to a large degree. Things are better now. Still a matter of getting on the bottom whether you're fishing nymphs or streamers. Dryfly opportunities...
