July on the Missouri

It’s Trico Time on the Missouri – photo by Wolf Creek Angler

The season continues to fly by as we close the books on June. We’re swapping out our PMD boxes for Trico fare and savoring the long days of summer. The recent hot weather and lack of precipitation have ushered in Hoot Owl closures in the SW portion of the state which will likely mean more traffic on the Missouri but fear not, she’s a big river. Plenty of fish and plenty of water for everyone. That being said, courtesy goes a long way in preserving peace on the river so please be courteous to your fellow anglers out there. If you are floating – give the wade anglers as wide a berth as you can. If you are wading please keep in mind that while boats are required to give you your space they have to go somewhere. If you are wading mid-river and there are wade anglers on the both banks you may have boats running closer to you than you would like but the vast majority of us who are guiding this river will always give you as much space as possible. Bottom line….be courteous to everyone. We’re all out there doing the same thing…enjoying this amazing fishery.

A huge thanks to all who came out for our Inaugural Fourth of July Fly Sale and for those who missed it, mark your calendars for next year. You missed outrageous deals, the best deals, on the best selection of the most beautiful bugs ever assembled under one roof in Wolf Creek Montana.
It wasn’t the busiest 4th of July we’ve seen, at least not in terms of fishing traffic but by the looks of the parking lot at the Wolf Creek Bridge there was no shortage of folks enjoying a leisurely float down the MO’.
As has become our annual tradition here at WCA we celebrated the 4th with a barbecue for all of our guests and guides and it was a great time as always. Many of these guests have become great friends, having been here from the start.

Those who fished Monday night battled some of the gustiest winds we’ve experienced in a while but there was reportedly some magic in the air as the wind subsided just long enough for some downright spectacular caddis action.
It’s a bit of a transition time right now as the PMDs are on the way out and the Tricos on the way in all against the backdrop of what is shaping up to be a pretty decent caddis season.
The word up high is that while there has been no shortage of tricos in the morning the fish haven’t quite keyed into them yet. That being said, Trico Time is early morning start time. Those who go early will be rewarded.

Make us your early morning Missouri River One Stop. We are open daily at 6:30 AM, before any of the others and lately we’ve had a crowd before we even open the doors so we may very well look at moving that to 6 AM very soon. Stop in for shuttles, bugs, RO and Adipose Drift Boat Rentals, LOOP rods and reels, ARC Fly Lines, KAST guide wear and anything else you may need for your day on the water.

Summer Days on the Missouri

It’s hard to believe but we’re just days away from JULY!

As always, the season is absolutely flying past and while it doesn’t seem all that long ago we were anxiously awaiting spring we are now smack dab in the middle of prime time. Dawn comes early and dusk comes late which means LONG days of fishing (and long days of working) and late nights recapping the events of the day in anticipation of tomorrow.

I’ve heard many reports over the past few days….this is some of what I’ve heard.

“The water is really low. This is the lowest I’ve ever seen it.”

“The water is really cranking.”

“Best PMD hatch I’ve seen in years”

“No bugs!”

“Tons of Caddis”

“Where are the caddis?”

“These fish are very picky”

“The fish are still really dumb”

“They’re not eating the duns”

“They’re only eating duns”

“As many boats as I’ve ever seen on this river”

“….pretty quiet out there. Where is everyone?”

As per usual, everyone seems to have a different perspective on things and while we get it that perception is reality this is our take on the current conditions.

We’ve got bugs…..plenty of them. PMD’s, Caddis, Brown Drakes, Yellow Sallies, midges…lots of bugs. PMD’s are plentiful and have been fairly consistent and reliable. Caddis are here. Reportedly not the big caddis we used to have, nor the numbers we used to have back in the day but there are caddis to be found daily and there are fish eating them and often willing to eat your imitation of them whether there are real bugs around or not. Big Brown Drakes in the secret spots only you know about and Yellow Sallies here and there.

The water is in good shape. We didn’t get the push we had hoped for, (We did reach 7,000 but only for a short time) but Canyon Ferry is full and it looks as though we’ll see flows at or near 4100 for the entire season. We’re currently sitting at 4480 with water temps eclipsing the 60 degree mark daily. Look for those water temps to increase substantially this week with highs in the 90’s. Moss is starting to gain a foothold though it is almost July so we’re pretty stoked there isn’t much more of it already.

It’s been a good dry-fly season so far….dry-fly Nirvana on the Missouri. There are plenty of fish eating though it often takes a substantial amount of time and water to find them. When you do they are often times spooky and generally on the picky side but that is why we all love dry fly fishing on the Missouri…..we love the challenge.

Nymphing has been solid, still seemingly better in the canyon stretch though we are starting to see the migration to the dam. A host of bugs getting it done out there including Split Case PMD’s, Weight Flies in purple or gold, black zebras, S & M’s, Military Mays, 2 Bit Hookers, Tung Darts and whatever else you like.

You’ll hear it here often…fish what you like. If you’re confident in your flies you will fish them better and will likely catch more fish. If you don’t like the bug but choose to fish it because it’s the current rage you will likely be left wondering what it is you are doing wrong. We all do it. We all chase the “hot list” of flies which is great for fly sales but next time you are in the fly shop we encourage you to take your time and really take a look at the selection. Sure there are a half-dozen bugs that everyone is buying, that the shops can’t seem to keep in stock and those bugs are selling for a reason but with hundreds of other patterns to choose from we guarantee there are other flies that will catch just as many fish. Maybe start with that “hot fly” and look for something similar, look for something different. Different can be good. The fish like different.

It happens all of the time. Someone comes in the shop asking for a such and such which we are either out of or never had to begin with. We do our best to direct that customer to another selection that would likely work just as well but they’ll have none of it. Tens of thousands of flies and NOT ONE of them will do. We get a kick out of this but we also understand and appreciate the necessity of having the flies you think you need so we work extremely hard at keeping the bins stocked with everything from LGM’s to 2 Bits to Psycho Mays to Peep Shows to Split Case PMD’s to you name it.

Stop by for our inaugural Fourth of July Fly Sale happening all day Monday, July 4th at Wolf Creek Angler. 25% off all flies – a ridiculously good deal and a great opportunity to try some flies you normally wouldn’t. We’ll also have the dollar fly bin loaded up and will have some great gear on the clothing sale rack from KAST, Simms and Redington.

Prime 2017 dates are filling as our happy guests secure next year’s reservations on their way out and fall is really starting to fill in so we encourage you to make those fall fishing plans today. It will be here before you know it!

In the meantime, enjoy summertime on the Missouri.

Caddis Sunset – photo by Wolf Creek Angler

Beautiful (though somewhat windy) summer weather following Monday’s Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. We love all seasons on the MO’ but summer holds a special place in our hearts with the long hot days, gentle summer breezes and bugs a plenty. It’s dry fly Nirvana on one of the best trout rivers on the planet!

It’s the time of year when our long-time regulars return and friendships are rekindled over post-fishing cocktails around the trout camp at WCA. Come by most any evening and you’ll find folks relaxing on our porches taking in the canyon views and swapping lies from the day.

Come by most any morning and you’ll find a shop abuzz with activity as our guests and customers get ready for their day on the water. What bugs to use, what section to float, what time the bugs come off, how long it takes to float from the dam to Craig…..these questions and many more are asked and answered daily as we get you set up with premium flies from our ever expanding selection which is rapidly becoming the talk of the canyon.

The OPEN sign goes on at 6:30 AM but the coffee is usually on and the door open by 6:15 making us by far your earliest fly shop option around. We tried this last season and generally found that first half hour to be a quiet time with an occasional customer but the word has apparently gotten out because now we’re more often than not seeing a steady flow of customers from before the sign is even turned on.

Fishing conditions are optimal right now though a few clouds would likely help increase dry fly opportunities. Flows are holding in the 4500 range, currently at 4320 and water temps are in the 60 degree range. PMD’s are abundant, caddis are present and rising fish are plentiful. The wading is easy and the fish, though wising up quickly, are eager to take a well presented fly. Our guests, with few exceptions, have been all smiles the past few days save for some frustration with the wind yesterday which was way more than a gentle breeze but the fishing has been good and the anglers have been happy.

Nymphing remains challenging in the top sections though with a little work you should be able to find some fish willing to eat. The Split Case PMD has been the bug of choice but we’re continuing to pick them up on San Juan worms, Caddis Pupae and a host of mayfly nymphs as well. Lightning bugs, S & M’s, Military Mays, Magic Fly, Psycho May….there are a lot of things working though not much of it working all of the time so plan on changing those bugs and those rigs until you get into them.

We are certainly in our Prime Time right now so we suggest you call well ahead of time if you are seeking lodging, guide trips or boat rentals. The rest of the week looks like it’s going to be nice with sunshine and 70’s. We’re looking at cooler temps and a good chance for some thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday returning to sunshine and 70’s early next week.

We’ll see you bright and early each and every day at Wolf Creek Angler.

Mid June Missouri River Report

Mid to late June brings the PMD's

We’re already looking back at the first half of June as we find ourselves fully immersed in PRIME TIME on the Missouri. It’s hard to believe the summer solstice is but a couple of days away. Time marches on!

Snow and cold and frozen fingers and frozen guides don’t seem that long ago but believe it or not we have somehow reached the meat of the season. Dry Fly Nirvana on the MO’.

I’m still getting plenty of calls inquiring about whether the PMD’s have started yet. Yes…yes they have. Bugs a plenty here and plenty of dry fly opportunities. PMD’s are the main course with a smattering of caddis served up daily and it’s not too early to think about terrestrials.

Our bins are fully stocked with all kinds of new PMD and Caddis patterns, both dries and nymphs. We’ve got so many new bugs we’ve had to clear out some of the old to make way for the new so don’t miss our $1 fly bin – great bugs at a ridiculous price. Don’t forget those hard-to-find Purple Buggers….just $1 at Wolf Creek Angler. Get em’ before they’re gone!

Our Go-To PMD’s have been Eric’s Rusty Spinner, CDC Winged PMD Emergers, Quigley’s Film Critic, Wilcox’s Micromay , Knock Down Duns and PMD Flash Cripples among many many more. Caddis staples include Outrigger Caddis, CDC Caddis Emerger, Cornfed Caddis and X Caddis. If you’re still plying sub-surface the worm continues to produce, especially paired with a tailwater sow. We’ve also done well with purple or gold weight flies or Tung Darts paired with LGM’s, S& M’s, Military Mays, 2 Bit Hookers, Summer Bugs and on and on.

Looking for more great deals? Don’t miss our inaugural fourth of July fly sale coming soon and our sale racks are always worth a look for screaming deals on great gear from the likes of Simms, Redington and Kast. Nothing wrong with any of it….just need to move it out. Hopefully you won’t need any cold weather gear for the next little while but come that next chilly day on the water you’ll have the layers you need to stay warm and you’ll feel great about having gotten a killer deal.

Speaking of the weather it looks like we’ll see a return to 80’s on Tuesday, right on cue for the official start of summer. Sunshine and 80’s expected most of the week. Perfect weather for a just arrived Simms Solarflex featuring our new and improved logo.

Lodging is slammed but we have had a few cancellations here and there, give us a call and we’ll see if we can find you some room at the inn. Guides are slammed as well, making hay as they do, but if a June or July Missouri River guide trip is on your bucket list don’t hesitate to call…we’ll make it happen. As one of the only Outfitter Owned and Operated Fly Shops on the Missouri we’ve got the edge when it comes to putting you on the water with some of the best guides on the river.

We are open daily at 6:30 AM – earlier than anyone else so make us your early morning Missouri River fly fishing one stop. Shuttles, bugs, strong coffee, sun protection and a wealth of friendly advice and up-to-the minute info on what’s happening on the MO’. You are our number one priority….every day of the year.

See you bright and early at WCA.

Across the Road Report 6/11/16. (Hey its the same forwards as backwards!)

Been a while since my last O.T.R Report, been like that for a reason. Shop is kicking into high gear and honestly, I just haven’t had enough time to really get on the road to report back to everybody. However, I have been spending a good amount of time Across the Road. Pretty easy to grab the 4 weight, handful of flies for the evening hatch and a spare cold beer, cross the road and see what I can get into. Low effort, big rewards; after a long day in the shop, I’ll take it. Just to clarify, despite what you may have seen, heard or participated in, the Little Prickly Pear is closed to fishing from Labor Day to the third Saturday in May, for a reason. It’s one of the most popular spawning grounds for Rainbows and Browns alike. We’re lucky enough to have this little gem flow past the front door just a few steps away and it makes a great alternative to the MO if you’re looking it mix it up a little bit after a day floating.

Go Time

splashyrise

It’s GO Time at Wolf Creek Angler as we hit our summer stride.

Last week’s pause in the action is but a memory now with a few relatively quiet days being replaced with busy mornings in the shop getting guide trips out the door and getting all of our customers everything they need for fishing the MO’.

Since I’m being followed by early-rising customers and guests into the shop most mornings when I get here to open I think it’s time we start opening earlier.

Starting tomorrow (Friday) we will be open daily at 6:30 AM, earlier than all the rest so if you’re planning on hitting the water early make us your first stop. We’re your early morning Missouri River One Stop Shop for shuttles, bugs, ice, lines, leaders, tippet, Fishpond Nomad Nets and anything else you might need.

Dry Fly fishing is heating up and our guests are loving it. Plenty of PMD’s and Caddis out there and plenty of opportunities to target rising fish. Absent those much sought after pods of rising fish, blind fishing can be very effective as well if you’d rather stare at a fly than a bobber. Try a Sloans Outrigger Caddis (or perhaps the Outrigger Sally) trailed with a Grey CDC Caddis emerger. The fish are hungry and they’re on the hunt for juicy dead-drifting bugs. Spend some time getting that reach cast dialed in and get out there and give them a shot. Need some help with your cast? We can do that! We’ve got the best guides on the river and they are great teachers. We’ll have you perfectly presenting dry flies in no time!

Nymphing remains somewhat inconsistent these last few days with flows continuing to fluctuate but it looks like we’ll be settling in to consistent summer flows soon. Barring any major precipitation events we should see flows stabilizing in the 5000 cfs range for the remainder of June before dropping to predicted summer flows in the low 4000 range. We like it! We’d prefer a little more water but as I’ve stated repeatedly we’ll take whatever we get and make the best of it….not much else we can do. Expect the MO’ to be your go-to trout water in Montana once again this summer and expect WCA to be your go-to Missouri River fly fishing destination. Screenshot (69)

Best bets for nymphing right now would be something along the lines of a Rainbow or Tan UV Czech or Purple or Gold Weight Fly trailed with a Split Case PMD, PMD Magic Fly, S & M, Light Peep Show or some other PMDish offering. We’ve been sticking with the deep (8′ overall) rigs and picking up a few here and there in the deep water but the fast shallows are LOADED with fish right now and should be targeted. Short leashing is definitely something you want to consider from here on out.

Go early, stay late or Go Late and stay later. Plenty of daylight on both sides of the clock.

See you out there.

Weekend Outlook

jean2

We heard a bunch of good dry fly reports from yesterday, most having found success in the canyon and below. Along with midges and the waning BWO’s PMD’s and Caddis are on the menu, not a ton of either but enough to keep you fairly occupied. Reports yesterday were that Parachute Adams, Trudes and CDC Caddis Emergers all drew some attention.

We just received a big part of our summer bug shipment so our bins are fully loaded with all kinds of cool PMD and Caddis patterns, both dry flies and nymphs. We’re also re-stocked on Green Machines and S & M’s amongst others. You can expect to find all the hot bugs you are looking for at Wolf Creek Angler along with a bunch of other patterns you won’t believe you’ve been missing out on. We’re fully stocked for the MO’ and beyond with plenty of freestone stuff as well and more foam then you’ll find anywhere!

We’re fighting some gusty winds today. Tomorrow will be better and the weekend looks like it could be perfect with temps in the mid to high 80’s and light and variable winds in the forecast. It might be a great weekend to come out and do the dry fly thing on the Missouri before things really get busy out there which looks like next week. We’ve got our busiest couple of weeks on the water thus far starting next week and I can only assume the story is the same with the other shops and outfitters so come out and enjoy the relative solitude on the MO’ now and expect a lot of traffic (and plenty of fish) in the weeks to come.

PMD’s are what’s on the menu. Stop by Wolf Creek Angler for the widest selection of Missouri River flies ever assembled under one roof in Wolf Creek Montana.

There haven’t been many PMD’s around as of yet so we haven’t really started fishing these patterns but it’s definitely time to dig out your PMD box and organize, inventory, re-stock and expand your selection. Some of our favorites are Nyman’s DOA Cripple, Flash Cripple, Powell’s Helen Keller PMD, Almost Dun, Knock Down Dun, No Hackle PMD, Captive Dun, PMD Drowned Spinner, Eric’s Rusty Spinner, CDC Rusty Spinner and various Hi Vis PMD and Rusty Spinners. My go-to PMD nymphs are the PMD Magic Fly, Split Case PMD, S & M PMD, Light Peep Show, Doc’s PMD, Doc’s Summer Bug, Psycho May PMD, Trina’s PMD Angel Case Emerger and the good old Gold LB.

On the caddis side we like Sloan’s Outrigger trailed with a cdc emerger or Cornfed Caddis. Try a purple or gold Weight Fly or a Tung Dart if you’re in search of a good caddis pupae nymph and don’t forget the buzzballs as they represent pieces and parts of pretty much any hatch you might be fishing.

It seems as though we’ve had our peak flows, at least for the time being. Expect flows to continue to drop as the runoff flows into Canyon Ferry dwindle. We’re stoked to have a hot sunny weekend on tap but we’re holding out hope for cooler temps and plenty of precip throughout June. Fingers crossed! LPP and the Dearborn are on the drop and are in great shape right now if small water happens to be your game.

We’ve got the calm before the storm happening now with a quiet weekend before guide trips and lodging kick into high gear on Monday. Plenty of availability for both for the next three days if a spur-of-the moment trip to the MO’ is in the cards for you. Book a room and a guide trip or grab one of our RO or Adipose Drift Boats and explore the river on your own. Just coming for the day? Stop by the shop for everything you need. Shuttles, sun protection, Smith Optics, LOOP rods and reels, Obscene Clearance Prices on winter gear from KAST and Outdoor Research and the best bug selection around.

See you this weekend at Wolf Creek Angler!

Summer weather arriving this week in Wolf Creek MT

As we bid farewell to May it looks like things are about to heat up on the Missouri. We’ll struggle to reach 60 degrees today but then it looks like the oven will be cranked up with temps in the 70’s over the next couple of days and into the high 80’s by the weekend and into next week.

This could be the start of some epic dry-fly fishing as the heat and the bugs go hand in hand. Expect lingering BWO’s this week and prepare for increased PMD and Caddis activity, especially in the lower sections of the river.

This is an awesome time of year to fish the Missouri with ample opportunities for all disciplines. Nymphing or streamer fishing during the early part of the day followed by dry fly fishing in the afternoon and evening is our usual routine but it’s always a good idea to have the dry-fly rig at the ready. Blind fishing is also an option for those who would rather watch a fly than a bobber. Try prospecting with your favorite Caddis pattern or even a terrestrial with a dropper, you might be surprised!

Missouri flows have been relatively stable in the 6700 – 7000 cfs range but it sounds like this may be it for a peak, at least for the time being. Inflows into Canyon Ferry Reservoir are decreasing from the snowmelt runoff so in order to ensure filling the reservoir to the top of the joint use pool, releases need to be decreased. Expect a drop in flows today.

We did have a couple of lodging cancellations for this week so we do have rooms available for what looks to be a gorgeous Montana weekend. These spots will likely fill by tomorrow so don’t put it off any longer – call today and book yourself a Missouri River getaway. We’ve got plenty of guides at the ready as well if you want to take the guess-work out of your trip and spend your time catching fish rather than trying to figure things out.

Want to try something different? How about a day on the Dearborn River? The window is usually short but it’s open now and we’ve got guides who would love to share this hidden gem of Montana with you.

We hope you make Wolf Creek Angler your first stop no matter where you’re going to be fishing. Our fly bins are overflowing not only with the hottest patterns for the Missouri but also with everything you need if you’re plying the smaller waters of the area. Up to date intel on what’s happening on the MO’ and everywhere else, shuttles, fishing licenses, wading gear, packs, tools and accessories, rods and reels for any water and any price range and much more. Stop by WCA today and see what the buzz is about.

Memorial Day Weekend

WCA-mountains-fish-bridge-location-navy

It’s hard to believe but Memorial Day is already here – the unofficial start of the summer season. In some respects it feels like it’s been a long time coming but mostly it feels like another season is absolutely flying by.

The early start we had with an extremely busy April means we’ve already been somewhere close to, or at Full Tilt for almost two months already and while we’ve had a few slower times during these last few weeks for the most part we’ve been busy settling in to our prime-season routines.

Things have been so busy that I let April 1st get by without talking about WCA celebrating birthday #2. As we head into this third season we’re thrilled with the growth we’ve already seen and we’re excited about things to come.

Part of growing a business is building a team to meet the increased demands that come with a busier shop and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. If you’ve been in the shop recently you’ve likely noticed a bit more variety behind the counter with Zach and I sharing these duties. We’ve recently added another shop guy Tyler, whom you’ll be hearing more about soon. Behind the scenes on the housekeeping side Cindy has things dialed in as always with help from Jeanette who has returned to help us out this season. These two are definitely the unsung heroes of the operation!

My intent is to spend a bit more time on the water guiding this season so I may not be in the shop quite as much but more often than not I will be here. When I’m not, you’re in good hands with Chewy!

New faces, new logo, new products…..same old commitment to customer service. You will always be our number one priority, whether in the shop or on the water. You’ve got plenty of choices when it comes to fly shops and guides…not as much when it comes to lodging but we’re definitely not the only game in town. We get it! This is why your satisfaction is our number one priority whether you are shopping with us, lodging with us, fishing with us or all of the above and this is why you can expect exceptional service every time you set foot in our shop.

If you haven’t been by the shop in a while you should definitely stop in and see what’s new. Product highlights for this season include the addition of LOOP rods and reels, more great gear from industry leaders like KAST, Rio, Nautilus, Redington, Smith and more; awesome WCA logo gear from Simms, Hydro Flask and Stanley; and an ever-expanding fly selection the likes of which has never seen in Wolf Creek Montana. It won’t take long for you to see why so many Missouri River guides frequent our shop. It might be the free coffee, it might be our smiling faces but my bet is it’s the bugs!

Looking for a guide? We’ve got the hardest working guide crew on the river and as the “new shop” we can’t wait to show you how that same commitment to customer satisfaction you find in our shop also applies on the water. There’s no shortage of guides on the Missouri River so you’ve got plenty of choices. We hope you choose us.

As one of the only Outfitter Owned and Operated shops in the area we have the edge when it comes to getting you on the water with an exceptional professional guide even with very little notice. We offer the complete package. Clean, affordable lodging; an up and coming fly shop with everything you need for your day on the Missouri and the hardest working guides you’ll find anywhere. We are full-time Missouri River guides. 24/7/365. This is our home water and we fish it year round. We don’t winter in the tropics. We winter on the MO’.

We hope to see you this Memorial Day weekend at Wolf Creek Angler. Start your summer off right with a weekend on the Missouri. Lodging and guides available – book today.
