Anticipation builds as we await the Salmonflies on the Big Hole River. The flows on the Big Hole have recently increased due to rain and snowmelt. It appears that the upper river flows have crested and we should see the river drop and clear. Once we get a significant warmup in water temperatures we should see Salmonflies on the lower river near Glen. Currently we are catching fish subsurface with streamers, worms and Salmonfly nymphs. Conditions will change daily as we approach the famed hatch.
It’s time to call in sick to work, drop family obligations and pick and choose your friends wisely. Salmonfly madness is about to start on the Big Hole River. The fly shop is open daily 7:30am – 6:00pm
