Dry Fly Central

Want to see a real spectacle of nature right now? Got some insectophobe you’d like to show a good time? The Big Hole is your river right now. There are more bugs out here these days than you can shake a Costco sized flyswatter at. Still a few late Salmonflys kicking around up high, lots of Goldens in places, Yellow Sallys, several different kinds of caddis, PMDs, Drakes, you name it. The trouble with all this is you really need to carry a flyshops worth of patterns over here right now to make sure your bases are covered. You should have no trouble finding some willing fish it you can get yourself to the water without risking life and limb. The river is still fairly high at over 2000 cfs right now. It has been dropping steadily though so this should get easier. Floating is a great way to go right now. Cover lots of water and hit those heavier banks with your dries while you’re looking for heads in the slower water.

Stay tuned for continuing River updates!
