The Big Hole River fishing report is improving. The days are getting longer and warmer, which has been clearing the lower Big Hole from ice. The ice is finally off the river in the Melrose area and we have a Big Hole River flow reading above 600 cfs at the Melrose guage station. Don’t let this fool you though we still have large ice shelves on areas of the river. The Glen guage is still reading Ice and the Maiden Rock guage is the only other spot reading a flow at this time. Your best option is currently wade fishing the deeper tail outs of the runs in the afternoons. Nymphing is your best option with an occasional midge hatch in the afternoons. It will be a nice day today and then we are back to winter weather. We have a winter storm warning Monday and Tuesday followed by cold temperatures the rest of the week. The snowpack continues to climb. The Big Hole valley has a snow/water content of 144% and the snowfall amount is 118% of normal. Our Big Hole river guides are eager to get back on the water the first week of April.
