Spring has sprung in this lovely little valley and not a minute too soon! This Winter has been one for the record books and we (including the fish) are ecstatic that it’s over! The river is looking fantastic this week, running at 1,230cfs @ Kirby and 1,390cfs @ Cameron. This week has been a mixed bag of Spring weather conditions, the most productive days have been overcast and the streamer bite has been insane!! Lots of quality fish from the Delektable Single Screamer in Olive/White and Black/Olive. Please see below! Fish have been moving a little slower with the cool water temperatures but have been found in pockets in the bank, in the middle and stacked in deeper riffles. We have seen some March Browns around the upper near Lyons, here at the shop, and most definitely near town. Keep your eyes peeled, you may be lucky enough to get some awesome early Dry Fly action!
This upcoming week we shall be seeing Summer-like weather, highs in the 70’s, in the valley. Come on down to Beartooth Flyfishing and enjoy the sunshine! We are open 7 days a week 8am to 5pm, we would love to help you with your fishing adventure!
