Late May Fishing

Snow melt is still in full swing in the SW corner of Montana but there are enough good fishing choices to keep anglers happy!

In the Twin Bridges/Dillon area, the best float fishing is on the Beaverhead River south of Dillon. From Clark Canyon Dam to Grasshopper Creek the river is in very good shape. You must fish nymphs deep with indicators. We like pink scuds, san juan worms and micro may flies in sizes 14-18. If you get some cloud cover think about fishing streamers off the banks.

The Big Hole, Madison and Jefferson are all very high and off color. We don't expect much fishing on these rivers for another ten days at least.

Clark Canyon reservoir is still producing large fish. Use indicators with small jigs or midge patterns or if you want more active fishing, strip streamers.

The Ruby River just below the Ruby reservoir is clean and fishable. Once again nymphs are the key to success.

Good Luck
