Montana Fish Report

With cooler nighttime temperatures, the lower river is fishing well. Even with the bright sunny days, we are still seeing some Mahogany duns. The fish are pretty spooky with the low water, but they can still be fooled with the right cast. There are also plenty of hoppers jumping around, so if nothing is rising, you can sometimes get a big brown on a hopper. It can also be effective to hang a small 18-inch 18 tan zebra under a hopper for some more action. The Browns also get pretty aggressive as spawning is just around the corner, so if you like stripping a streamer, I’d highly recommend it!
