BOOK YOUR MONTANA FISHING TRIP HERE

We have a strikingly similar start to our report from 10 days ago. We went from darn good spring fishing, having lots of 15-20 fish half-day trips…. to a big drop of rain and a blown-out river!

Now, back to perfect spring conditions!

Enjoy the spring pre-runoff roller coaster, and get out there on the good days. It’s worth it!!

We had one day out last week right as the river was climbing beyond  “fishy conditions”. We put on the water and worked hard in a great spring hole. Did about 7 laps in different lanes and only came up with 1 small cutthroat…. I was feeling bad for the folks in the boat and asked them if they had the energy to pull out and go try another local stream that hadn’t started to spike yet. They both agreed and appreciated the effort.

Off we went. Loaded one boat, switched to another boat, and ventured out. The drifts were a bit more technical for my anglers, but they persevered…  With a little hard work and patience, we found a couple. One of our catches just so happened to be a 25.5-inch monster rainbow!

Precisely the reason we get out there when we can this time of year!! Consistently find some of the best fish for the whole year, every year in the spring.

Let’s gooo!
