It appears as though the heatwave which has defined the summer of 2021 is coming to an end, at least for now.

Drastic change is underway and while we will see mid 90’s once again today, you’ll want to break out the waders and raingear starting tomorrow as temperatures drop and we start to get some much needed precipitation.

The general trend looks like daytime highs in the low 70’s and overnight lows in the mid to high 40’s though Wednesday will see a high of only 55 with a good chance for some significant precipitation starting tomorrow and running through Wednesday night.

Let’s hope these cooler temps lead to the lifting of the Hoot Owl Restrictions very soon.

Get your hopper fishing done today and look to the subsurface game starting tomorrow. Rainy day nymphing could be exceptional these next couple of days as the new weather system settles in.

It might be the perfect time to get away for some late summer action on the Missouri. Traffic has slowed to a crawl which means plenty of prime water for you and your buddies. In addition to prime water there is also an abundance of lodging available as things have gone full ghost town in Wolf Creek and Craig.

I don’t want to oversell the fishing because truth be told, it’s been a little slower than what we’d like as of late but we’re optimistic that the change in the weather will bring about a vast improvement in the fishing. If nothing else we should see some major improvement in the air quality as the cooler weather assists with fire fighting efforts.

Stop in and see us on your way to the river for vehicle shuttles, Adipose drift boat rentals, Simms wading and rain gear, Rio lines, leaders and tippet and the biggest and best selection of bugs ever assembled under one roof in Wolf Creek Montana.

We’re open at 6 AM daily for all of your Missouri River fly fishing needs.
