Montana Fish Report

The boat ramps are open and access is abundant. With the Salmonfly hatch in full swing, there are lots of anglers and boats. Please be respectful of other anglers. As I write this report, we are on the tail end of the Salmonflies in this stretch,  but we are just starting to see some golden stones. Also, there is some really good caddis fishing in the evening. Try Henry’s Fork Foam Stones in Salmonfly #4 and #6 as well as golden #8 and #10. The EZ Caddis Tan #16 with a size #16 Lawson Partridge Caddis Emerger as a dropper is deadly during the last hour of daylight. The PMD hatch is right around the corner, so if nymphing is your game, try a split case PMD nymph size 16 below a size 8 Pat’s Rubberlegs. It also can be fun dragging a streamer through some of the deep runs on a dark day. I like copper zonker #4 or a Hen Saddle Matuka #4.
