During the last three days I have had the great pleasure and luck to guide an expert fly fisherman. Now don’t get me wrong-I feel lucky to guide all levels of fisherman-but it is a guide’s treat to watch/guide an expert chase big fish with dry flies. So it was
The report from the rest of the state is pure envy for the Yellowstone River. This may not always be the case but our Yellowstone River is Montana’s shining star at the moment. From the river’s exit at Yellowstone National Park to Columbus, MT the river is fishing well. That’s
Happy 4th of July! What a great time to be a fly fisher in Montana! Today was the Yellowstone, yesterday was the Missouri and tomorrow may be the Boulder. They are all fishing great despite the current heat wave. Here’s a photo from July 3rd on the Missouri. Notice the
The Yellowstone River is a living organism at the moment. Salmon flies, Golden Stones, PMD’s, Drakes, and Yellow Sallies are pouring off the river. This is no fish story. If you have the chance get to the Yellowstone for some cold water, riffles, and eager fish that are being fed.

Over the last few days the fishing on our local spring creeks (Armstrong’s Spring Creek and Depuy’s Spring Creek) was not too shabby. Which is to say that even though we are between the madness of early spring and the PMD’s of summer the fishing is still solid. It’s solid
I have a fear of violating the “loose lips sink ships” policy, but without giving it all away too easily I can say that one of the most beautiful trout streams in Montana is currently without a date (so to speak). Hopefully it stays this way because she is down
Montana has been getting some much needed rain over the last two weeks. This blessing from the sky will help our rivers in the months to come and has made for unplanned and unexpected great fishing on our local rivers as of late. No kidding, fish were eating chubby chernobyl’s
