The Big Hole River Spring fishing has been fantastic this month. We have had some good dry fly days on skwala’s and solid nymphing and streamer fishing. Currently the weather conditions have brought the river temperatures down and the water is rising due to rain/snow that we have received. You will need to get crafty the next few days since the fish will move to the slower pools and edges of runs. The cold water will not have the fish moving very far to eat. You will need to rotate and sit in the spots they are feeding in to catch fish.
We are seeing some skwalas hatching, blue winged olives and march brown’s on the menu. The river should level out and the clarity is perfect at around 4 feet of visibility. Bundle up and get out for some spring fishing. It looked like the weather improves early next week to get the water temperatures back up to active trout conditions.
We still have some openings for the Spring Special Package. Contact us today to book your trip.
