Montana Fish Report

Above Hangman’s Bridge Fishing has improved with the lower flows and cleaner water.  Running heavy nymph rigs can produce fish, with caddis pupae, San Juan Worms, Glow Bugs, Copper Johns and Stonefly Nymphs! Also running a streamer during these high water times can produce fish as well.  The stocked sections around the bridges and the Carson River Resort have been fishing well for Rainbows and our newly added Lahontan Cutties.   

The catch and release section below Hangman’s Bridge is good with the lower flows.  A lot of the Lahontan Cutthroat have worked their way down and are eating nymphs readily.  It is crossable in most areas.  There is a bit of green slime in places making it a little more slippery than normal for this time of year.  Nymphing is good early in the day and slower in the afternoons on the hotter days.  The fishing has been great one day and mediocre the next.  The dry fly fishing is primarily in the evenings with caddis, pmds and yellow sallies coming out when the wind isn’t ripping.  Again, different from one night to the next.
