Southwestern Montana Rivers On The Rise

We all look forward to the Mother's Day Caddis hatch but a lesser celebrated bug is the March Brown. Spring runoff is still holding out so we will continue to keep our reports up and running until we get our annual Spring flush gets underway.
Rather than updating the fishing reports on the Blog, click on the Southwestern Montana Fishing Reports Icon in the upper right hand corner of our Blog.
The March Brown hatch on the Yellowstone pre caddis can be phenomenal. Larger than average fish down low is probably what you will find. We had our first report of the bug showing up Easter Sunday.
This is an exciting time to be fishing in Montana. With Spring runoff coinciding on the wings of the much anticipated Mothers Caddis, It's important to stay tuned and keep up to date on current conditions. If you are in the area, enjoy the fishing!

Spring Runoff...

We are checking out for a few weeks and will resume fishing reports on 5/21 (Spring opener on the Upper Madison - conditions pending). I anticipate a lengthy Spring runoff with snowpack averages hovering between 130 - 140%. Impressive! With a limited amount of fishable options, late May will find us based in Craig Montana fishing the legendary Missouri R. tailwater. Thanks for reading and be sure to stay tuned...
