One of the Best in Years

That’s how many folks are describing this fishing season on the Big Hole. The flow is low right now but cool nighttime temperatures have been keeping the water well within comfortable levels for the fish. Floating here is pretty much out of the question now except for small pontoon boats. Wading anglers though have the run of the place and getting to the good spots is about as easy as it gets. The dry fly fishing, like most other rivers in the state this year has been fantastic on the Big Hole. There are still some Spruce Moths flopping around on the water as well as tricos, BWOs, and a few other assorted mayflies and caddis. There are also zillions of grasshoppers bouncing around the tall grass banks over here. You’ll want a box full of attractor dries, hopper patterns Parachute Adams and small to medium sized bead head to hang below when you come over here.
