Fall Has Arrived in Montana
Fall has finally gotten to SW Montana. September weather was more like August's weather but fishing was excellent. Hopper fishing on area streams and spring creeks was superb this season but now we have to look to limited dry fly fishing with primarily nymph and streamer action.
The Beaverhead flows are much better than previous seasons. Some blue winged olive action with very good nymph fishing when the dries are done.
The Big Hole is still relatively low and floating is best with a raft. Fish large pheasant tail nymphs and copper johns in sizes 12 and 14.
The Madison is erratic but nymph fishing should produce good steady action.
The Jefferson should really pick up with streamers now that we are getting more cloud cover.
The Ruby continues to fish well with small nymphs and streamers.
Get on the water and enjoy what remains of the 2009 season!
