A Cool Montana August
August in SW Montana has been the total opposite of many past Augusts! Stream flows are above normal and daytime temperatures much cooler than average. This combination has created excellent fishing.
All area rivers are in terrific shape. Dry fly fishing is more with attractor flies than hoppers but fish are looking up.
The Big Hole River is fishing well with patterns like the Royal Trude, Royal PMX and Black Magic. Fish sizes 10 and 12.
The Beaverhead will provide the dry fly fisher with some action on hoppers and caddis. For consistent results use nymphs deep like the psycho prince, trigger nymph and lightening bugs.
The Madison fishes well with small nymphs like the lightening bug, prince and pheasant tail. Try going smaller with sizes 14 and 16.
Clark Canyon Reservoir is on fire with small leech patterns and midge larva fished off indicators.
Enjoy the cool summer conditions and good luck.
