Big Hole River Fishing Report

[eye_row data_width=”container” data_margin_row=”75px,0″ data_padding_row=”0,15px,0,15px”][eye_column data_width=”7″][eye_text]

Today we have had rainy fall like weather in the Big Hole Valley. The rest of the week looks like perfect, dry and crisp fall like weather. The recent rain has the Big Hole on the rise, which is ideal for getting the river back up to average flows. The river is clear and the flow increase should get the brown trout active and willing to move to streamers. We had tremendous blue winged olive hatches today. Look for these hatches to continue into the week ahead and we should see some mahogany duns thrown into the mix.

Check out the new Scott Centric fly rod. We have them in stock and we are ready to ship to your doorstep.

Beaverhead River Fishing Report

[eye_row data_width=”container” data_margin_row=”75px,0″ data_padding_row=”0,15px,0,15px”][eye_column data_width=”7″][eye_text]

The Beaverhead has slowed down dramatically recently. We are having tough fishing from the Dam down to barretts. The flows have dropped and the water coming out of the reservoir is off color and tons of moss is floating down stream. It is hard to fish anything other than a dry fly and maybe a streamer. If you throw any nymphs you will picking up a moss salad. Hopefully this improves but for now we suggest fishing elsewhere. Check out the new Scott Centric fly rod. We have them in stock and we are ready to ship them out.

Big Hole River Fishing Report

[eye_row data_width=”container” data_padding_row=”0,15px,0,15px” data_margin_row=”75px,0″][eye_column data_width=”7″][eye_text]

The Big Hole is in the late summer/early fall splendor. You will find some trico’s in spot specific areas in the morning and Blue Winged Olives. We are having solid reports of hopper fishing in the afternoon heat on the lower Big Hole River and around the Melrose area. Streamers in the morning hours have been good with olive color patterns and black color patterns. Looks like the dry and warm weather will persist for the week, which will make for some great fishing opportunities.

Big Hole River Fishing Report

[eye_row data_width=”container” data_padding_row=”0,15px,0,15px” data_margin_row=”75px,0″][eye_column data_width=”7″][eye_text]

The Big Hole River has been fishing pretty well lately. We are in the late summer transition to some fall activity. On the warm days you will have trico’s in the mornings and hopper fishing in the afternoons. On the wet cool days we are seeing Blue Winged Olives hatching and some October caddis have been spotted in certain sections of the Big Hole. Streamer fishing has also been working for guys as the brown trout are gearing up for fall activity. Our hopper fishing on the warm days on the lower Big Hole stretches below Melrose has been fantastic lately. Tan Chernobyl’s, Thunder Thigh Hoppers and Morrish hoppers have all been bringing large rainbows to the surface. get your summer fishing in before fall hits us and it’s time to bring the streamers out in full force.
