The unseasonably mild weather continues. And while we’re definitely enjoying some ideal January fishing conditions we’re keeping an eye on the snowpack and hoping for some precipitation soon. Mind you we’re not in terrible shape with much of the region currently sitting at 90 – 109% of average but with the Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin drainages currently sitting in the 70-89% range we could definitely use some snow so crossing our fingers and hoping for the best.

Ideally we get a few good dumps in the high country and maintain the almost spring-like conditions we’ve been enjoying here on the Missouri. The best of both worlds! 

The next couple of days look prime with mostly sunny skies, highs around 40 and winds on the calm side. Next week looks like more of the same with temps climbing, nearing 50 by Wednesday.

We’re not seeing much in the forecast just yet but the assumption is that sooner or later winter is going to return so if you’re looking for your Missouri River fishing fix… now is the time.

We’ve been getting plenty of calls from folks looking for fishing reports and current lodging and/or guiding availability so I’m expecting we’ll see a few people around this weekend. We do still have lodging available though I expect we’ll be full for the weekend so if you’re considering coming out I’d suggest you make that call sooner rather than later.

We’ve decided to do something no other shop is doing this winter and that’s to offer discounted guide trips all winter long. Discounted trips have traditionally been a spring promotion but the way I see it, if there’s any time that should be being promoted with discount rates it’s winter time. The days are short and the weather conditions can often be a challenge but winter fishing, especially nymphing, can be outstanding.

We’re offering full day trips for $450 for one or two anglers which includes everything but your Montana fishing license and guide gratuity. All flies, terminal tackle, lunch and refreshments are included. This is hands down the best deal you’ll find on the Missouri this winter. Rates are valid through the end of March.

And as if that weren’t enough – we’re getting a jump on spring by also offering a guide trip and lodging special. $550 (plus tax) for a full day on the water with one of our exceptional guides AND two (2), that’s right, two nights of premium lodging at Wolf Creek Angler. No rushing to get here the morning of your trip. No driving home tired after hauling in trout all day. We invite you to try to find a better deal…you won’t!

And the best part – ZERO cancellation fees for winter trips so book today knowing that if the weather turns or if you just happen to change your mind, you’re off the hook – no questions asked.

Space is limited so take advantage of this mild winter and plan a getaway to Wolf Creek Angler today.
