Winter is rapidly losing its grip.

Our early spring continues here on the Missouri as we enter March with temps flirting with 60 degrees for the rest of this week.

What’s it mean for the coming season? It’s still too early to tell but the Snow Water Equivalent is still looking decent at 91% of average. We’re hoping winter persists in the high country, at least for a while but we’ve started to come to terms with the fact that we may very well have seen the last of winter weather here on the river.

Screenshot (49)

Those in the know are not predicting any kind of high water event, in fact what’s being predicted is a water year very similar to 2015 with average spring flows holding around 4,000. We shall see. Spring rainfall is the big factor in the water equation so all we can do is wait and see what happens. In the meantime we are enjoying the mild weather, especially on the days the wind doesn’t blow (which are few and far between).

Traffic seems to come in spurts. We were busy in the shop and were full most of last week and even did a few guide trips but things have been pretty quiet this week with just a few guests around. If you’re planning to come out and fish this weekend we’ve got one cabin left for Friday night and two on Saturday. Looking at the forecast it’s likely we will be full so don’t miss out.

Come by the shop and see what’s new. We’ve been receiving a bunch of our spring orders and have some cool new gear from Loop, Redington, Echo, Rio and more. We’ve also got some great deals on winter gear as we make room for the new arrivals including 40% Kast Hell Razor jackets. These are awesome jackets at an unbelievable savings.

Fishing reports have been mixed this week. Some good days, some ok days and some downright slow days depending on who you ask. We’re continuing to target winterish water with winterish bugs for the most part but transition is definitely underway as the water continues to warm up.

Swingers are out in force having varying degrees of success with the two-handed rods while the single hand streamer crowd is also finding some willing players. Keep that retrieve slow for them time being but don’t limit yourself to slow water as the fish have been found in all different depths and speeds of water over the last week or two.

Dry fly fishing is a go, depending on the day. There are midges around and fish on them. Sun and wind conditions will define your day. Stay late as some of the best action has reportedly been just before dark.

We hope to see you soon, in the shop and on the water. We’re open REGULARLY at 8:00 AM Wednesday – Sunday and we’re usually around on Mondays and Tuesdays as well depending on the weather. Look for the seven-day a week shop schedule to start soon and remember we are always OPEN every day for lodging and guide trips. We will likely open more lodging up next week as we’ve had to turn people away on a fairly regular basis. We won’t open the motel units until April but we should have a couple more cabins ready to go very soon.

Stay tuned for updates!

On the Road Report: Screw it, I’m Going Edition.

28Feb16

You ever have a day of fishing that starts out like that? Weather looked bad, not quit motivated to get on the road and I know I don’t need to drive two hours over the Continental Divide to catch fish this time of year, but screw it I’m going. This time of year I’m generally content swinging flies on the MO before the inevitable crowds of summer descend and it becomes a madhouse. It’s also the time of year I get, well bored. Living so close to one of, if not the single, best trout streams in the West is a blessing and a curse. The Missouri will spoil you, especially when you live 5 minutes from its banks. So yesterday I loaded up the 4 wt, some foam flies, loads of big freestones nymphs and jumped over the pass to kick it for a day with Wolf Creek Angler guide Brock Long on one of my personal favorite semi-local freestones, Rock Creek. I mean screw it, worse comes to worst, I know the beer in Philipsburg will at least be worth the drive.

By the time I rolled into P-Burg the rain had mostly let up and the wind had died off. The valley we’d be fishing was still shrouded in very gray, very ominous clouds, but I’m here, semi-prepared, so screw it, we’re going. Our initial attempt to find some open water along the Rock Creek road was feb281 sidelined by road conditions that reminded Brock of goose-snot on a bowling ball, to say the least he didn’t feel like putting his new guide rig into a ditch so we stuck to the main road and jumped in at Gillies Bridge (now the Kyle G. Bohrnsen bridge). Right off the bat, the Pat’s Rubber Leg got some action followed by a surprising surface eat by a beautiful cutty. I say surprising because the end of February is hardly the time for Skwala to be coming out but by the end of the day we had several eats on the surface. By early afternoon the sun was breaking the clouds up, and it had warmed up enough the road along the creek was a little less snotty so Brock and I headed into the canyon.

If you’ve never wet a line on Rock Creek I have two pieces of advice, especially if you head into the canyon. Its easy, Studs & Guns. Studs for the slick wading conditions and guns for the wildlife, primarily the Moose. After being kicked in the ### (literally)by an ornery mama moose two summers ago I learned a valuable lesson. Yes they are awesome, majestic creatures, but they’re also pricks. I’m not saying shoot the things, but a friendly warning shot across their bow is a good deterrent. Carry spray if you think you can let one get within 20 yards of you before you turn tail….

After a few more fish the gray closed in again and from the looks of it, we were in for some nasty looking weather. Instead of just throwing on another feb282 layer of Gore-Tex and staying on the river Brock and I came to the conclusion of screw it, we’re going, to the bar. It’s a short skip over the hills back to P-Burg and the brewery where the beer is always worth the drive. Make sure you check out Brock’s blog The Montana Drifter for updates from the mind of one fishy fellow as he prepares for another season guiding some of the most spectacular waters all over Montana. And make sure to keep up with us here on The Running Line for more reports from the road as spring makes an appearance and rivers all over the state start shaping up.

~Cheers, Chewy.

State of the Missouri

coolworks1

4500 trout per mile, an abundance of 18″ rainbows and 17″ browns, well below average flows and plenty of opinions via the 2015 Creel Survey.

The annual State of the Missouri program was presented last Thursday night at Montana Wild Education Center in Helena by FWP Fisheries Biologist Jason Mullen.

This is always a great program and definitely worth your while if you get a chance to check it out. There was a wealth of information presented not only about the Missouri but about the Smith, the Sun and Belt Creek as well. Following are some of the highlights we know are of interest to you.

Fish Per Mile

This always seems to be the most popular topic of the presentation and while we’ve become accustomed to the numbers over the past few years the amount of trout in the Missouri River is truly mind-boggling. The numbers have been on the decline for the past couple of years following the 2012 peak of >8,000 fish >10″ per mile in the Craig section which is to be expected.

2015 saw Rainbow populations still well above the 3300 average at 4,073 per mile while Brown Trout came in slightly under the 572 average at 433. That’s still over 4,500 trout over 10″ per mile! Like I said…..Mind Boggling!

Screenshot (33) While the numbers of fish are amazing it’s the average size of the fish that surprise a lot of first time visitors to the Missouri and keeps them coming back. More than 900 18″ Rainbows and close to 100 17″ Brown Trout per mile….this is the Missouri River!

Screenshot (34) Screenshot (35) The river section from Holter Dam to Craig is by far the most popular stretch but take a look at what’s going on in the Cascade stretch. We’re looking at above average trout populations and while there are certainly more fish up high we’re still talking about over 2300 trout per mile in the Cascade stretch. There is no reason you shouldn’t be fishing the lower river!

Screenshot (36)

Screenshot (37) Screenshot (38) The fish population statistics are interesting and exciting but equally as important, if not more so, is the flow data. 2015 was not a great water year for us with average flows well below average. The Missouri certainly fared better than many other rivers in the state which saw Hoot Owl Closures for much of the season but we would definitely like to see more water this season.

Screenshot (39) Screenshot (40) Screenshot (42) Many of you may have been interviewed last season by FWP while you were out fishing the MO’ as part of the Creel Survey which began in March of last year and just wrapped up. The data are still being processed but the preliminary results are in. A few points of interest – 43% of those surveyed were non-resident anglers on par with 44% in the last creel survey in 2002. Of the resident anglers 24% were from Cascade County, 13% from Lewis and Clark and 20 % from elsewhere in Montana.

22% of those surveyed were being guided compared to just 11% in 2002. Interestingly, preliminary results show that those surveyed believe that 45% of those fishing the river are being guided. Anglers were generally satisfied with the average numbers of fish being caught and overwhelmingly satisfied with the average size of the fish being caught.

The survey also indicated that while many feel the river usage is too high the consensus is that crowding is not a problem. Also of interest is that those surveyed strongly oppose limiting use by both non-residents and guides and outfitters.

Once again, in summary, plenty of big fish, less water than we would like and interesting preliminaries from the creel survey.

First float in the new Adipose – photo by Wolf Creek Angler

A mixed bag of reports this week with things having seemingly slowed a bit since our last report. There are still fish being caught but the good to great days we had experienced last weekend and early this week have given way to a return to more challenging times. There are definitely still fish being caught but you may have to work for them. That being said, it is still February so all things considered I would still say the fishing is pretty damn good overall and should only get better.

We’re still holding out hope for another shot or two of winter weather but as of right now we seem to be settled in to a trend of sunny days with daytime temps in the 50’s and nighttime lows in the 30’s. We’ve had a few really nice days with just a breeze but more often than not there are varying amounts of wind to contend with. Yesterday was one of those rare calm days, today it looks like a return to the normal. No high wind warnings in the immediate forecast but always be prepared for at least a nuisance wind.

We did a quick Wolf Creek to Craig float on Tuesday in our new WCA Adipose rental and had a decent day on the nymphs before switching to streamers which turned out to be a bust. The firebead soft hackle sow in pink was our best bug and the fish we did pick up were where they were supposed to be in the medium slow, medium deep water. Same program we’ve been preaching for the past few weeks though we skipped the super slow winter water and just targeted the transitional stuff. Firebead anything, soft hackle sows, soft hackle rays, Tailwater sows, black zebra midges, Czechs, Amex…by now you know the routine. We didn’t spend any time doing row-arounds but you should.

As I said the streamer thing wasn’t happening for us at all. A couple of tugs early on and then NOTHING. We ran through our go-to bugs and fished hard right to the take-out and nothing. Streamer fishing can be like that. Tomorrow is another day!

There have been a lot of midges around and the occasional fish or pod on them but I have yet to spend a day targeting rising fish. It’s all ahead of us. Great streamer fishing, great nymphing and great dry-fly fishing soon to come.

The river has been relatively quiet this week but there are definitely some people around and it’s only going to get busier as things heat up so it’s a perfect time to come out and enjoy early spring fishing on the Missouri River.

We’ve got one room left for the weekend, you may as well make it yours. $99/night gets you a cozy cabin with a full kitchen just minutes from Holter Dam and Wolf Creek Bridge. Don’t forget – $400 full day guide trips through the end of March or do it yourself with a RO or Adipose Drift Boat Rental.

Lots of new inventory arriving daily at the shop. Come on by and see what’s new.

We hope to see you this weekend at Wolf Creek Angler.

Fishing Report 2.22.16

It’s just about 4:30 .p.m here in Wolf Creek and I just got off the water after a stellar morning/afternoon session on the MO. All disciplines covered, all successful. With a week of February left and weather looking relatively similar for the next few days ahead, things should stay pretty consistent. Here’s the breakdown from top, to bottom. Surface bite was decent all over when the wind laid off. Midges all over from the Bull Pasture to Lone Tree and fish noticing. Hi-Vis Midges, Griffiths Gnats, Peacock Clusters & WCA Trudes in an #18-#20 got it done in several runs later in the morning into the afternoon. Nymphing game was strong today, usual for the winter but none-the less exciting. Still the typical winter fare for now, Rainbow Czechs, Tailwater Sowbugs, Pinkalicious & Zebras’ still bringing fish to nets. Swinging produced a few fish this morning too. Still going through the slower, deep, sort of cellulite water. Polar Leeches, ZK’s Ragnar, Micro-Suckers & Squirrels all in black or olive got it done in the morning.

After thinking about this for a little while; I also feel the need to clarify something for everybody. It’s simple and involves every one of us in the fishing and hunting community. That simple fact is this; ignorantia legis neminem excusat, meaning ignorance of the law excuses not. Most of you by now have read the recent news release from Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks regarding the 38 state and 11 federal citations issued to three Missoula filmmakers. I’m not going to get into the specifics of the allegations against them, my personal opinions regarding their behavior and punishment (or lack thereof), will not be addressed. However if you’re not familiar with the story you can read at the FWP News page, or just click that link. Montana-Wild, the group at the center of the controversy has issued a statement as well, you can read that HERE and come to your own conclusions.

Now that you’re caught up, back to my point of clarification. The easy truth is that ignorance of the law is not an excuse to break it. Any decent lawyer will tell you that, unless you pay them enough not to. As anglers and hunters we are responsible for knowing and abiding by the laws put in place by FWP in their best efforts to preserve the incredible resources we as Montanans are blessed with. If you’re unsure about regulations concerning a specific waterway feel free to contact us at the shop and we’ll do our best to provide you with an accurate answer and if you’re still unsure you are encouraged to contact FWP at any regional office. Seven offices are spread throughout the state and you can find their contact info on page 1 of the 2016 regulations. Make sure you know before you go. I’m not saying don’t trust you’re local fly shop guys, just make sure you’re both certain. Personal accountability for when and where you’re fishing lies with the person who has the rod in their hands, no one else.

~Cheers, Chewy.

Weekend Report

Sunny and breezy in Wolf Creek this morning. Wind will definitely be a factor today if you’re planning to get out there with sustained west winds of 25-28 mph gusting to near 40. Maybe not the most pleasant conditions but kind of part of the deal this time of year.

What would definitely help make it more tolerable would be a Kast Hell Razor jacket. We’ve got plenty in stock and they are priced to move so we can make room for spring arrivals. 40% off now until they’re gone. Don’t miss this opportunity for huge savings on an awesome jacket that stands out from the rest.

product_shot

Incredibly lightweight & extremely warm

The Hell Razor is the ultimate in performance and comfort, and the perfect insulating layer or outerweark in colder climates. Utilizing Primaloft 60g ONE insulation allows us to build a jacket that is incredibly lightweight yet extremely warm. There is no other way to describe the Primaloft technology other than magic. Windproof, water resistant, yet highly breathable and thermally efficient, the Hell Razor is our personal favorite and go to jacket for wrestling with big fish or the occasional trip to town.

Features:

Windproof and water resistant
60g Primaloft One insulation
Highly breathable and thermally efficient
Lightweight and compressable
Ample zippered storage
YKK zippers
Fleece lined oversized pockets

The reports from this past week have been mixed but overall it seems to be heating up.

As is generally the case the nymphing has been the best bet to put fish in the net. Pink Amex, Rainbow Czechs, Firebead Soft Hackle Sows, Rainbow Weight Flies, black zebra midges, tailwater sows, pink lightning bugs, Snack Nasty Sows and a host of other pink or firebead patterns. Don’t be afraid to throw some mayfly nymphs in the mix as well. We’re a ways out yet from BWO’s but the fish don’t care, throw em’.

Per usual the majority of the traffic is between Holter Dam and Craig but there have been plenty of people fishing below Craig as well with just as good of results.

The streamer bite has continued to improve and will only get better as we move towards spring. The water temps have been hanging right around 36 degrees and we’ve definitely seen a marked improvement in the fishing over what it was at 32-34 degrees a couple of weeks ago. Fish are moving into transitional water so keep fishing the slow froggy winter water but start working the medium fast runs as well. I wouldn’t expect much from fast shallow water yet but you never know.

I would still recommend a slow retrieve or a swing on the streamers but as that water warms they will start to move for it. Try to vary your retrieve until you find something that works. I’ve been doing a slow retrieve with plenty of pauses and finding that the pause is more often than not when they hit. Best patterns for us continue to be the Polar Leeches in Olive or Copper, Gold or Brown and Yellow Kreelex, ZK’s Ragnar in Black, Olive Skiddish Smolt, various Clouser type patterns (we like Wiese’s Swimming Minnow), Sparkle Minnows and we’ve also heard the JJ Special has been getting some attention.

Tomorrow looks like it’s going to be nice with highs near 50 and a little less wind at 9-13 mph out of the Southwest. We’ve got a few folks around for the week ahead but plenty of lodging left for just $99/night.

Like the view? Call Wolf Creek Angler and book your Missouri River Fly Fishing Guide Trip today.

Prime dates are rapidly disappearing. Don’t put it off any longer, book your 2016 Missouri River Fly Fishing trip of a lifetime today.

Lodging is nearing capacity for the months of June and July and it looks like we’re going to have a busy spring as well based on the amount of April and May bookings.

We’ve got a bunch of guide trips already booked for June and early July but don’t despair, it’s not too late. We’ve still got plenty of guides and dates available.

Looking for something a little different? Why not add a little variety to your trip and plan to do a day on the nearby Blackfoot or Dearborn Rivers in addition to the Missouri?

The Dearborn season is early and short, usually just a couple of weeks depending on water levels, but if you can do a late May/early June trip chances are good we can get you on the Dearborn for a day.The Blackfoot offers the same wilderness, freestone experience but with a much wider window of opportunity.

With legendary dry-fly fishing as well as nymphing and streamer fishing, an insane abundance of trout, ease of access and year-round opportunities, the Missouri will keep you coming back time and again but you owe it to yourself to try the quintessential Montana Wilderness fly fishing experience offered by these other rivers. You will likely catch more and bigger fish on the Missouri but you’ll never regret devoting a day to experiencing something so different from the Missouri.

With the Missouri just minutes away and miles of other phenomenal trout waters within easy reach, Wolf Creek Angler is your base camp not just for the Missouri but for Montana fly fishing period.

Many of our guests stay for a week or more at a time and fish the Missouri hard but also venture off to explore the surrounding waters. We encourage you to arm yourself with a can of bear spray and a gazetteer and spend a day or two exploring the blue lines.

The shop of course caters to the Missouri River fly-fisher but we can also get you set up for fishing the smaller waters. We’ve got the rods and reels and lines, the wading staffs and hand nets; the maps and the knowledge and of course the bins full of foam and the BIG DRY FLIES which are a staple of freestone fly fishing and we’re happy to get you pointed in the right direction.

No matter your water preference, we would love to have you as our guest at Wolf Creek Angler this season. Give us a call today and let us help you plan your Montana fly fishing dream vacation on the Missouri River and beyond.

Stop dreaming and start planning. Call the dream vacation HOTLINE at 800-800-4350 and book today.

We’re looking at continued unseasonably warm temperatures, likely for the remainder of the month. Let’s hope for at least one more winter blast in March. In the meantime why not brave the winds and come out and do some February fishing on the Missouri.

We’ve opened additional lodging to accommodate the increase in traffic and we would love to have you as our guest. $99 (plus tax) gets you a cozy cabin or bungalow complete with full kitchen facilities. Stock up on groceries and set up camp in Wolf Creek.

The Oasis Bar is open every day if it’s a taste of Wolf Creek night life you seek but if you’re hoping for dining out options be sure to book your trip Thursday – Monday as these are the days they are serving breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Oasis from 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM. Once again, with lodging equipped with full kitchens and barbecue grills you don’t need to worry about dining out during your stay with us.

Need a boat? No problem. Wolf Creek Angler features RO Drift Boats for rent including the Tailwater Skiff and Deville. Better yet, leave the rowing to us and book a winter guide trip for just $400.

We’ve had a few trips out and a bunch of people staying with us the past couple of weeks making it feel like the 2016 season is getting underway. Sure there are still some quiet days in the shop but we’ve had plenty of busy mornings and we keep busy throughout the day running shuttles, cleaning rooms, adding inventory for spring and booking guide trips and lodging.

We invite you to swing by and check out our new selection of rods and reels from LOOP Tackle as well as a bunch of great gear from KAST Extreme Fishing. Why not treat yourself to a pair of Kast Steelhead gloves and a Kast Hell Razor jacket? It’s awesome gear and definitely stands out from the rest. Deals to be had at Wolf Creek Angler as we make the transition to spring gear.

The shop is open REGULARLY Wednesday – Sunday at 8:00 AM and we’re usually around on Mondays and Tuesdays as well if the weather is fishy. Call ahead if you have any doubts but you’ll see the OPEN sign ON from the northbound Interstate as you approach the Wolf Creek Exit. If you don’t see the sign on we encourage you to continue to Craig and visit our friends at The Trout Shop or Headhunters. It all depends on the weather but we will likely go to a 7 day schedule starting sometime in March.

Keep in mind we are open EVERY DAY for lodging and guide trips, it’s only the shop that is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

We hope to see you in the shop this week. We’ve got you covered with shuttles, bugs, cold weather gear, the biggest and best streamer selection ever assembled under one roof in Wolf Creek Montana and much more.
