Another incredibly beautiful day on the ‘Mo! Bluebird, no wind and 50 degrees. Montana anglers were out in force again on Sunday. The fishing wasn’t great over the weekend, but it was good enough for most. the forecast called for clouds, but they didn’t really set in for any length of time. When they did, fish were up rising and hunting streamers. Nymph fishign was OK. definitely not what was expected from many anglers. The best nymphing occurred below the dam. The usual flies worked.
We’re looking at a solid week of nice weather with moderate winds in the forecast. Flows are listed at 3900cfs, but it seems lower to most. Sunken islands are no longer sunken. You could play football on some of them. Water temps are recorded at 35 degrees, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. Midges are thick. Headhunters juniour angler Adair was poking around in the river today and brought us back a cup full of mayfly nymphs, scuds and midge larva. No lack of food for the fishey’s.
We’ll be in the shop most days and always Th-Sun while this nice weather holds out. Feel free to give us a call for up to the minute weather/water/wind/fishing reports. 1-877-379-3597.
These guys were all smiles while we watched them fight this nice Rainbow on Sunday 2/28/10.
