The report from the rest of the state is pure envy for the Yellowstone River. This may not always be the case but our Yellowstone River is Montana’s shining star at the moment. From the river’s exit at Yellowstone National Park to Columbus, MT the river is fishing well. That’s
Happy 4th of July! What a great time to be a fly fisher in Montana! Today was the Yellowstone, yesterday was the Missouri and tomorrow may be the Boulder. They are all fishing great despite the current heat wave. Here’s a photo from July 3rd on the Missouri. Notice the

I have a fear of violating the “loose lips sink ships” policy, but without giving it all away too easily I can say that one of the most beautiful trout streams in Montana is currently without a date (so to speak). Hopefully it stays this way because she is down
Montana has been getting some much needed rain over the last two weeks. This blessing from the sky will help our rivers in the months to come and has made for unplanned and unexpected great fishing on our local rivers as of late. No kidding, fish were eating chubby chernobyl’s
It’s happening. The run-off is in full force and summer is truly just around the corner! To get super fired up to fish check out these short videos from the Simms Ice Out/Shoot Out event held a few weeks ago in Bozeman, Montana. Just click the link and enjoy… http://www.simmsfishing.com/shootout
