We have been in a cooler weather pattern lately and the fish have been responding well to the favorable conditions. Heat is back on the horizon for the next week but the overnight low temperatures have been dipping into the upper 40’s to lower 50’s, which has made for good morning fishing. You will find clouds of tricos hatching around 10:30 am. After the tricos we have switched to hoppers and ant patterns for dries. The deep nymphing has produced good fish lately. Our shop is open daily for all of your fishing needs and river shuttles.
The Big Hole water flows have been average for this time of the year. We still have Hoot Owl conditions on the entire Big Hole River, this means you can’t fish past 2:00pm. Our guide trips have been leaving early in the morning and wrapping up our fishing @ 2:00pm.
