More Cool Weather
Summer and Fall are fighting for control of SW Montana. One day it will be in the high 80's and the next the high 50's. If you are planning a trip to Montana in the next few weeks be sure to come prepared for any weather. Have fleece garments and a good rain jacket with you but you may also want to have a pair of wet wading shorts!
Fishing remains very good with a variety of things happening:
The Beaverhead from Clark Canyon to Barrett's diversion is fishing consistently well. As always you can nymphs successfully and in the afternoons you will find fish up on dries. Caddis and hoppers are the primary dry fly choices.
We have been told that the Beaverhead will be running higher flows this fall than what we have experienced the past few years. This means no closure in the late part of the fall and the fishing will remain excellent.
The Big Hole also will have much more water this fall than it has for many years. You will find nymph, streamer and dry fly fishing to be good through October this season.
The Madison should begin to produce better sized fish again as the water cools and brown trout begin to move into spawning mode.
The Jefferson will be another river that fishes well this fall when it has been too low late in the year the past few years. We like streamer fishing on the Jeff. especially when you have dark overcast days.
Don't neglect Clark Canyon Reservoir. It continues to kick out some very large fish for the nymph and streamer fisherman willing to spend a little time.
The fishing pressure on Montana's streams has been very light this year and as we get past labor day you will find that traffic on all SW Montana rivers is just not going to be heavy.
Have a great time.
