Thursday Fishing Report straight outta Craig MT

Flows 3110cfs

Water Temps 46F. Crazy hitch yesterday?!

Dry Flies coming off daily. Sun does not help them stick on the water though. An today with temps nearing the 80F mark the wings of those olive mayflies will dry rapidly before they become airborne. Midge ubiquitous. March Browns on the menu. Lower. A great short lived hatch that those who seek it, will reap the dry fly rewards.

Nymphers are really tallying some big numbers. Sows, Worms, March Brown nymphs, BWO nymphs, and very soon, caddis pupa’s. Find your perfect depth and roll with it. Split or not. The bugs move towards the top of the water column as the day progresses.

Streamer anglers finding them in some quicker water. Flashy is still the preferred theme. Kreelex, Sparkle Minnow, Rusty Trombone, Goldie, and more in store. See our vast streamer selection with offerings for the two handed fan as well. Lots!

Anglers seem to be canyon crazy. Lots of boats in that reach.

Some wind and rain for the next couple days here on the river with reasonable and seasonable weather fro the next wee. Air temps in the 50’s, night time temps int he 30’s.

Snow pack is looking better. We would appreciate the continuation of the wet trend we are currently holding in, yes more please. Night tome temps under 40 are good for the next few weeks.

Lodging and guides available all week long. Stop in for a free cup of Joe, perked of course.
