**Time to put the thermometer back in the fishing pack. Watch the afternoon water temp. We call it a day around the 70 degree mark. Keep em wet, use a net, size up in tippet, and get the fish in quickly. A few tips we recommend**

The creek continues to be one of the best mid-day fishing options in the Missoula area. Water temp is ok mid-day, but take the evenings off this weekend. Dry fly fishing has definitely picked up over the last week or so. Sweetgrass hoppers, hot spot para-wulffs, low-rider stones, plan B, stubby chubbies, brindle chutes, and ext. body PMDs worked well for us. Ants and beatles are on the menu too. According to the forecast, we are in for a big weather shift this week, with some cooler weather the fish will appreciate.
