They’re calling for big winds today, with gusts near 30 mph. We haven’t seen it yet. It’s a beautiful morning on the Missouri with sunny skies and temps closing in on 40.
The flows are up a bit at 3840 with the water temp just shy of 35. The wind will likely pick up this afternoon but if you’re contemplating coming out to fish this morning I would definitely encourage you to do so.
It’s a stark contrast to last Saturday when we saw the busiest day on the water so far of 2016. I did the loop to Craig and back and saw one rig at Craig – aside from that not a soul between Wolf Creek and Craig but it is early yet.
More seasonable weather on the way with 30’s and a chance for snow right through next week. Definitely fishable weather but not the spring-like temps we’ve been getting accustomed to again. Let’s hope for more winter….we need it!
We’ve got limited lodging available tonight and we’re wide open for next week as it stands now. Why not pick a day or two and come out and treat yourself to a day of winter fishing on the Missouri. You deserve it! $99 lodging and $400 guide trips all winter long. It’s the best value on the river.
If you’re wondering about dining options during these winter months The Oasis Bar and Grill is serving breakfast, lunch and dinner from 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM Thursday-Monday. You can also bring your own provisions and do it yourself. All of our available units offer fully furnished kitchens and we’ve got barbeque grills available for your use.
With the only open restaurant and the only gas station/convenience store between Helena and Cascade, Wolf Creek is definitely the hub of activity in the canyon during the winter months. Throw in our comfortable and affordable lodging and an up and coming, extremely well-provisioned Missouri River Fly Shop located closer to Holter Dam and Wolf Creek Bridge than any other shop and you’ve got your Missouri River Winter Fly Fishing destination.
We’ve got new gear arriving daily, including some awesome rods and reels from LOOP you just have to try. We’re also featuring the new Behemoth Reels from Redington, an incredible value at $110. The Behemoth combines the most powerful drag in its class with stunning aesthetics that push the limits of fly reel design.
Shuttles, cold-weather gear from KAST, RO Drift Boat Rentals and of course, the largest selection of Missouri River flies ever assembled under one roof in Wolf Creek Montana. Come check us out. Our normal winter schedule in the shop is 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM Wednesday-Sunday but when fishing conditions are prime on Mondays and Tuesdays you will likely find us here on those days too. Open every day for lodging and guide trips.
Make Wolf Creek Angler your Missouri River Winter Fly Fishing Destination.
