Big Hole River Fishing Report
We are in the middle of a caddis frenzy on the Big Hole. The river has dropped to a great level and cleared, with over 2 feet of visibility. You will find the best caddis dry fly fishing towards evening or on a cloudy overcast day. Around Melrose you will have to find back eddies or back channels to fish the dries. On the upper Big Hole where we have less volume of water and the gradient is less, you will have fish up eating caddis when conditions are right on the slow grassy banks. The streamer fishing has been good river wide lately and the nymph anglers have been cleaning up with heavy tippet.
Currently we are in Stage 1 restrictions due to Covid-19. Governor Bullock announced yesterday that the state of Montana will move to Stage 2 Restrictions on June 1st. Big news for us outfitters since this will remove travel restrictions and 14-day quarantine requirements in Montana.
