“Back to normal” Missoula Summer fishing Report 2020

Bitteroot river

“Back to normal” is a term or a saying that’s been tossed around a bit. In our fishing world that usually means Runoff has peaked and fishing has improved in Missoula. And, that is the case, for the most part. And sparing you of a detailed explanation of Covid/travel restrictions. Things are also back to […]

Spring 2020

Well, winter isn’t over yet but it’s probably a good time to get the gear all tuned up and the flies that were tied in your boxes. Montana’s winter started off fairly mild, but high elevation snowpack was above 100%. This Should mean that we will have good flows and low fire danger. Although there […]

Another trip around the sun.

Well, fall has come. Trading the rods for the rifles. Another year has passed. Crazy how they seem to go quicker as each one passes. It was a great season. Once again the typical worry and questions about having enough snow for the rivers to hold up all season long. And once again all those […]

If you like piña coladas

It’s been a kinda crazy summer weather and flow wise. I tell folks count on 90’s-100’s July thru August… Not this year. First couple weeks in July we had some pretty solid rain. And cooler than average temps. Then just is things heated up and flows started to drop. Once again we got some rain […]

Not a Typical season

Well, it looked like we had a chance of water issues in June. The snow melted quick. But Just after that we get a cool summer with a good bit of rain. I don’t ever remember a July with temps in the 70’s and almost a daily shower or two. So. Thing are going pretty […]

May Be a while

The conditions right now are colored up and dangerous in a sense. Especially if you’r considering wading. The silver […]

Slowly Thawing

Snow is still high on the banks. Most put in and take outs are covered. And the water temps are cold. I know it sounds negative. But the truth is best. We’re still in a Winter condition stage. But the future looks good. Getting out on the weekdays is a good bet. If i’ts sunny […]

Late Fall report 2018 Missoula.

Those 60 degree sunny days have pretty much said goodbye. We’ve moved into that winter transition where its overcast/raining, with much shorter windows of opportunity. Doesn’t mean its not happening, just no reason to be out there too early. Blackfoot has some cool water temps and fishes best from about 1-4 pm. Mostly BWO’s and […]

Fall Fishing Report

Things are feeling a little more like Autumn. This next few day’s will see cool weather. Highs in the 60’s and some clouds will help the Mayfly’s. Have your BWO box and Hecuba’s. Hopper fishing is still really good on most stretches with a trico dropped off the back. Flows are still at record high […]
