The current Big Hole fishing report for the upcoming weekend has us excited for the cloud cover and moisture. The streamer anglers will be happy and nymphing will be solid. We have hatches of PMD’s, caddis and nocturnal stoneflies on the Big Hole River. During the mid-morning hours, the fish look up for dry flies. We expect significant moisture this weekend, which should increase river flows.
Recommended Flies:
- Blowtorch #14
- Duracell #16
- Spanish Bullet #14
- Purple Haze #16

- Big Hole Fishing Report

The Big Hole Fishing report has been great lately. The river is in fantastic shape and we have been having dry fly and sub surface action. The Salmonflies have just about wrapped up on all sections of the river. You might find some hatching on the warmer days on the upper river but for the most part they are finished.
We are seeing Golden Stones, PMD’s, Caddis and some Green Drakes. Prospecting with a chernobyl and a PMD dropper has been working well. You can also find some fish sipping PMD’s in the flats around midday. Streamers on the lower Big Hole have been working well. The weather and conditions look perfect for the upcoming week.
Shop hours are 7:00am – 5:30pm daily.

- Salmonflies On The Big Hole River

The Salmonflies on the Big Hole River have started to hatch. Currently we have seen them from Glen to the Divide fishing access. Today we had great dry fly fishing from Melrose down to Brownes Bridge. The fish should key in on the dry fly more as the week progresses. Dropping flows and clearing water have created prime conditions for the hatch. We have been fishing a salmonfly dry with a stonefly dropper and certain times of the day the fish have looked up for the Salmonfly dry fly. This is the best time to get out and have fun throwing massive dry flies.
Recommended Flies:
- Chubby Norman #6
- Half Down Salmonfly #6

- Pat’s Stone (Orange/Brown) (Black) #4
