Settling In To Winter

It seems the wild weather swings have subsided for the moment.

No Arctic Blasts and no 60 degree days in the forecast for the time being. We’re currently seeing highs in the 30’s, lows in the 20’s with occasional snow showers (as it should be) and the snowpack map is slowly but steadily starting to improve. Let’s hope winter sticks around for a while. We could certainly stand another six weeks of this.

We did our first guide trips of 2024 last week during the tail end of the heat wave. Things have gone quiet again this week but we’re ok with that. It’s supposed to be quiet in February.

There are still a couple of folks out there most days, the hardest of the hard core anglers, but for the most part it’s empty lots and vacant water and will likely remain so for some time. We are looking at a slight warm up this weekend with highs near 40 starting on Sunday and running through Tuesday but with it being Super bowl Sunday and all I wouldn’t expect much traffic.

The next system moves in on Wednesday with colder temps and a good shot at some snow showers.

Should you decide you’d rather watch a bobber than the 49ers and Chiefs, like if you’re a lifelong Detroit Lions fan and felt like you had this and can’t believe that second half went the way it did and have been in mourning for two weeks, the river is here for you.

Flows are holding steady in the 4000 CFS range with water temps at Holter Dam hanging right around 34 degrees. Shelf ice pretty much disappeared during the heat wave last week though there are still some sketchy spots out there so use caution as always.

The ramps at the dam and Wolf Creek Bridge and Craig are in decent shape and shouldn’t pose a problem though you’ll want to thoroughly inspect them before backing down as an icy ramp is tough to escape once you’re on it. If you have any doubts slide that boat down the ramp to launch and make sure you have a tow strap or plenty of rope for getting out.

Status quo on your bugs. Pill Poppers and Tailwater Sows or some variation thereof if you’re nymphing and midge clusters or any number of individual midge patterns to target those top water fish. Streamer action has been good, at least that was the word last week. White, Olive, Tan all producing on the strip with standard swing fare like Thin Mints, Polar Leeches and Kreelex in play.

We’ve got kitchenettes for rent at $149/night plus tax. A must this time of year with not much for dining out options between Helena and Cascade save the occasional weekend offerings at the Craig Taphouse which will incidentally be serving up pizza tomorrow (Saturday).

New arrivals for spring gear will be here soon. In the meantime we’re loaded up on Simms Waders and boots (and cold weather gear), Sage rods and reels, fly lines from SA, Rio and Airflo for any and all applications and situations, WCA Yeti drinkware as well as WCA 10th Anniversary gear arriving weekly. We’ll do your shuttles whenever possible and we’ll rent you a brand new Adipose Flow provided conditions allow for it.

Settle in for these next few weeks and prepare for what’s ahead. It’s a great time to inventory and organize your gear and figure out what you need to buy for the 2024 campaign.

Winter schedule will remain in effect as long as it makes sense, opening at 8 AM Tuesday – Saturday and lodging is available anytime whether the shop is open or not. Give us a call to book your room and we’ll take care of the rest.

Best of luck this weekend to Chiefs and Niners fans…enjoy it while you can, the Lions will be on the prowl and in the hunt for years to come. Mark my words.

Welcome February

January is now in the rearview and ended up being a wild ride weather-wise with everything from snow and 40 below to sunshine and 60 degrees all within the span of a couple of weeks. That’s a swing of 100 degrees or more!

The current spring-like conditions have ushered in a substantial increase in angling traffic with the winter regulars being joined by folks coming in from all around the state to enjoy this winter thaw.

We’ve enjoyed the bump in lodging and shop business and we’ve even picked up a couple of guide trips this week which are our first of 2024.

It looks like we’ve got a couple of more days of ridiculously mild weather today and tomorrow before a return to somewhat normal conditions this weekend. Highs near 60 today and tomorrow. A bit on the breezy side today with gusts to 30 mph but tomorrow looks idyllic with cloudy skies, a high of 60 and winds west southwest 5 – 9 mph.

Saturday brings temps in the high 30’s with rain and snow and Sunday looks wintery with snow showers, a high of 35 and north northwest winds and next week looks like normal February weather with temps in the 20’s and 30’s and a chance for snow here and there. No major precipitation events in the forecast at this point but the more seasonable temps are a good start.

We do have lodging available if you want to get out and enjoy these last couple of nice days and we could probably even find another guide or two willing to get the boat wet if you want to leave all the work up to us.

We’ve heard solid nymphing reports all week long with the Holter to Craig stretch being your best bet and there are dry fly opportunities on any given day if you can find a shelter from the wind.

We haven’t heard much from the streamer set but there’s no reason a swing or a slow strip wouldn’t be productive with the current water conditions.

Flows are holding steady in the 4400 CFS range with water temps just shy of 34 degrees. Calm days will provide an abundance of midge action on top, otherwise most are playing the bobber game with pink definitely in play. Pill Poppers, Bubble Yums, Cotton Candy, Pederson’s Sow, Rainbow Czechs, Caviar Scuds, Lucent Bead UV Sow all fine choices. Pair with a tailwater sow in rainbow or pink, a zebra midge, a pink lucent bead ray, a pink lighting bug, a soft hackle sow or similar. Add a bb and start with a 7’ – 9’ overall length with 5 ish feet from indicator to split. Water temps are trending upwards but it’s cold enough that most of the fish will be found in the slowest, deepest water you can find. Start deep and adjust accordingly, staying off the bottom but running as close to it as possible. Adjust upwards in small increments until you find where they’re at.

Keep that midge rig at the ready in hopes of dry fly opportunities and if streamers are your game swing those tailouts with a smallish leech pattern, kreelex or polar minnow or hit the depths with a sinking line and a super slow retrieve with plenty of pauses.

Start your day with a stop at WCA for shuttles, bugs and so much more. We are your quintessential, locally owned and operated mom and pop shop on the MO. FLY SHOP SMALL with Wolf Creek Angler!

January Thaw

Spring-like conditions have taken hold this week with temperatures in the 40’s through the weekend, climbing into the 50’s and near 60 by mid-week next week. And yes, it’s a nice switch from the 30 below we saw last week but there is certainly cause for concern as we approach the end of January with regional snowpack at record lows.

Birds are singing, the sun is shining, the snow is melting, the fish are feasting…feels much more like March than January but these things are beyond our control so I guess the best thing to do is embrace it.

Traffic has increased this week and by increased I mean that we actually had a customer or two through the doors this week and even ended up running a few shuttles. A welcome change for sure!

Conditions on the water really couldn’t be better so if you’re looking for a quick Missouri River trout fix you’d do well to make your way out here in the next week or so and cure that cabin fever.

We’ve got our newly remodeled bungalows available for rent at the special winter rate of $149/night (plus tax) and I’d bet with that feel of spring in the air we could very likely find you a guide willing to spend a day on the water doing all of the work while leaving it up to you to catch all of the fish.

Predictably, nymphing has been the go-to as of late but winter midges are providing ample dry fly opportunities as well. Cover a short section of river on a relatively calm day and you will undoubtedly find plenty of opportunities to hone those dry fly skills. And one of the nice thing about dry fly fishing in the winter is that it’s not all that hard to fool them. Having had months of relief from the barrage of dry flies they tend to be much less wary and much more forgiving of a less-than-perfect presentation.

Black midges, midge clusters, Griffith’s gnats or a small (#18 or #20) parachute Adams should do the trick.

Best bets for nymphs are all of the broken record variety….pink anything and a sowbug! Pill Poppers, Pederson’s Sow, Bubble Yum Scud, Rainbow Czech, Amex, Naughty Bunny, Pink Weight Fly, Caviar Scud and the like trailed with a tailwater sow, pink lighting bug, pink radiation baetis, soft hackle sow, lucent bead Ray, zebra midge, rainbow warrior or a standard PT should get it done.

Following the deep freeze we’ve still not really heard any streamer reports but with the water temps back on the rise there’s no reason not to be doing the swing thing or even a measured strip/swing from the boat. Sparkle Minnows, Kreelex, Polar Leeches, Skittish Smolt, Thin Mints, Pine Squirrel Leeches, Balanced Leeches, Buggers…all good options.

As of early this week the lower river remains locked up with ice so you’ll likely want to concentrate your efforts between Holter Dam and Craig. The upper river ramps are usable and shelf ice, while a factor, is rapidly disappearing. As we mentioned last week, the dam is weeping large chunks of ice regularly so BE AWARE when you are wade fishing. One of these chunks could definitely cause you issues if you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In fishing, as in life, situational awareness is KEY. Have it! Heed it!

This ice chunk doesn’t look like much from afar but up close and personal it could and would cause the wading angler problems

We’re open at 8 AM Tuesday – Saturday and offering shuttles when we can. Bug bins are fully stocked and we’ve got plenty of hand warmers, gloves, hats, socks, waders, boots and whatever else you might need for your day on the water.

Arctic Blast

Following last week’s arctic blast which saw temps bottom out at near -40 with wind chills of -65 we are now looking at another stretch of above average temps with highs in the low to mid 40’s starting tomorrow and running at least through late next week.

We did receive a few inches of snow with this system which is great but unfortunately there is nothing in the immediate forecast for more precipitation. We are still in desperate need of precipitation as we’re over a third of the way through our snow pack building season with most of the state sitting at 40% – 60% of normal.

Some of the infrastructure at WCA didn’t fare particularly well through this arctic blast. Leaving the faucets running thorough the arctic blast was not enough to prevent the dreaded frozen pipes so here we are again with a substantial plumbing project in the works. We have yet to get the water moving again but we’re hoping to make some progress as temperatures warm this weekend and into next week.

We will be open next week but without restroom facilities available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Fishing has come to a standstill with the lower river choked with ice at the moment. I’d expect winter traffic to resume with the warm up. Please use caution if you’re headed out there as shelf ice could be a hazard for a while and the dam will be shedding ice as well so watch out for those chunks heading downstream. Many of them will be large enough to cause problems for you.

No official reports at this time but you’d do well to think pink if you’re headed out in the days to come. Flows are currently at 5160 CFS and water temps are cold, just shy of 33 degrees so you’ll want to target the deep and slow winter water.

Pill Poppers, Amex, Rainbow Czechs, Pederson’s Sow, Caviar Scuds, Bubble Yum Scuds etc should all be fine options trailed with tailwater sows, Rainbow Warriors, Soft hackle sows, zebra midges and the like. And don’t forget the midges for your January Dry Fly Fix.

Tomorrow looks to be a little breezy but the next few days don’t look bad. Partly sunny days with temps in the 40’s and relatively calm winds could result in some decent dry fly opportunities.

Winter is also swing season on the MO and I’d expect we’ll see a bump in that traffic as well this week.

The ramps are likely not in the best shape but it shouldn’t be long with those warmer temps and a little bit of sun. We’ll get you a ramp report in the next couple of days. In the meantime, be prepared for bad ramps with plenty of rope in case you aren’t able to back down the ramp. If there’s any doubt just slide your boat down the ramp. It’s a little more work but much better than getting your vehicle stuck on the ramp or worse.

Shop hours are spotty, especially with our repair projects underway, but you can expect us to be here Tuesday – Saturday from 9 AM to mid-afternoon. Shuttles available most days and winter lodging is available for $149/night plus tax.

We’re praying for snow and more winter to arrive soon but in the meantime we’ll look forward to seeing you during this January Thaw.

Snow Dance Please

It’s been over two months since the late October snow storm that kicked us into winter mode only to set us up for a ridiculously mild late fall and early winter. Hopefully that’s all about to change.

There’s not a lot of precipitation in the forecast just yet but it does appear that temps will start to trend towards normal by this weekend and we should see single digits and below by the middle part of next week.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not in love with the thought of single digits but it is January and it’s time for it to happen. Hopefully the cold will be accompanied by snow, at least in the high country, as we desperately need winter to start taking hold around the state. The ski hills need it desperately and our rivers DEMAND it.

Get your fishing in this afternoon and tomorrow and Saturday. The cold starts on Sunday when you should be somewhere watching the Montana Grizzlies compete for the National Championship anyway, followed by the last slate of games in the NFL regular season? Where did the time go?

Once this cold snap has come and gone you’ll likely find the fish have all settled in to the winter depths as water temps which are currently sitting at right around 35 degrees, will plummet. Classic winter nymphing techniques ahead.

It’s been an interesting early winter with fish still holding in faster, shallow water but that should soon correct itself.

Swinging will still be an option with long, deep tailouts being your prime winter targets.

Summer is booking quickly with the mid June to mid-July prime pretty well full and the early season rapidly following. Fall dates are booking up as well with September looking to be another record-setting month on the MO.

Bottom line – if you’re planning on a Missouri River fly fishing adventure anytime in 2024 you best get those dates on the books.

We’ll be here sporadically next week, weather dependent and we’d love to see you. We’d love even more to fire up the POS and sell you some bugs or a shuttle but I have a sneaking suspicion that if it’s been dead with temps in the 40’s and 50’s we’re not likely to see much traffic with temps in the single digits. Prove me wrong! (But call first and make sure I’m here!)

Welcome winter! Praying for Snow.

Go Griz!!

2023 Year In Review

2023 was a year of major improvements at Wolf Creek Angler, a product of our constant commitment to growing our business and to providing all of our customers with spectacular service and an amazing experience whether in the shop, on the water with our guides, lodging with us or all of the above.

The highlight of the year was undoubtedly our major renovation of our bungalow units which we started in January and finished in late March with a week to spare heading into the traditional April opening of our lodging season.

The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, and we feel these three units are amongst the nicest in the area at this price level.

Sure, there have been some folks disappointed to see the 1980’s ranges go away but with the installation of induction cook tops, the addition of dishwashers to each unit and a major upgrade in décor, we feel our kitchen units are on par with most contemporary units out there, offering a clean and modern look and all the amenities the vast majority of our guests require. Most are happy to trade the range for the upgrade but as a reminder, we do still offer small ranges in our kitchens in Cabins 1,2 and 4 if that is something you’re looking for.

Another major improvement to the WCA brand came at the end of 2022 when we were informed we would FINALLY be opened as a SAGE rod dealer in 2023. It has been an exceptionally long time coming and something I’d been lobbying for since we opened our doors in 2014.

We are thrilled to be on board as a dealer and to be able to offer you what we feel are the best rods in the industry. Sage rounds out an excellent selection of rod brands including Redington, Echo, Lamson and Loop. We have rods for every experience level and every budget and while we never expected to be doing major business in high end rod market, we were pleasantly surprised by selling more Sage R8’s than any other rod in 2023.

Couple this with being the exclusive Simms Fishing Products Dealer in Wolf Creek and you start to see our mission coming to fruition.

That mission being to be your one stop fly fishing destination on the MO with the friendliest service and all the best brands in the industry offered in our shop, the most humble and professional guides on the river and clean and affordable lodging all closer to Holter Dam and Wolf Creek Bridge than any other shop.

Those in the know keep coming and many more discover every season what Wolf Creek has to offer as an alterative destination when coming to fish the magical Missouri.

2023 also saw an expansion of our staff with Keith Tucker joining our team as Shop Manager, Phil Peacy returning for a second year as shop staff while also ramping up his guiding experience and Rhonda Gatch leading our shuttle crew as we broke away from previous arrangements and embarked on our very own shuttle service, independent from any other shop. Wolf Creek Angler is the home of The Cheapest DAM Shuttles on the MO!

This tenth season will go down as our most successful to date and we’re just getting started.

Most of our crew will be returning in the spring and you will likely see some new faces around as well.

Another highlight of the season for us came in the fall when Hidden Canyon Lodge was named a Finalist as Best Fly-Fishing Resort in Montana for the second consecutive year by Distinctly Montana Magazine. What does this have to do with Wolf Creek Angler you ask?

As some of you may know, our outfitting /guide business at Wolf Creek Angler is run under a separate company called Iron Fly Outfitting. I started Iron Fly six or seven years ago because it made sense from a business standpoint for Wolf Creek Angler but also because I began working with Hidden Canyon Lodge as their In-House Outfitter. Everyone at Hidden Canyon is amazing to work with and they run a first-class operation so it’s no surprise to me that they would be named a finalist two years running but hopefully the fishing component has at least something to do with this honor which is a big deal for all involved. Congratulations to everyone at Hidden Canyon Lodge.

We closed the year out with a strong fall/early winter with mild weather providing for a great extended season. We did see a winter storm in late October which brought a fair amount of snow and sub zero temps and did lead to some issues with heating/plumbing in some of our units which are usually closed for winter well in advance of sub zero temps but alas, this is Montana and Montana weather does what it does regardless of whether we’re ready or not.

As quickly as it came the wintry weather retreated and has not really returned since. It has been a fine December for fishing the MO but it’s time to start building some snowpack to fuel our 2024 water year!

As we close this year out, we would like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you once again, to all of those who fished with us, shopped with us or stayed with us at Wolf Creek Angler. We are so blessed to have so many amazing clients and, as always, we are honored and humbled to be able to provide our services to you.

Happy New Year from all of us at Wolf Creek Angler!

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas from all of us as Wolf Creek Angler!

It’s Christmas Eve Eve and all is quiet here in Wolf Creek.

We had near perfect weather yesterday for our Annual WCA Solstice/Christmas Float which is always a highlight of December for me. There’s no better way to spend a late December day and no better humans with whom to spend it.

It’s hard to believe we’ve been doing this fly shop thing for 10 years now and spending a day with WCA Family brings it all home. I love these folks and the community we’ve become and I truly feel blessed beyond measure to be able to do life in this place with these people.

And speaking of blessings…there is no Wolf Creek Angler without all of you our clients. You are the reason we are here and while we still get plenty of people who are first time shoppers, who “never knew we were here”, we’ve built a substantial following of loyal customers who return time and again and who I’m honored to call my friends.

Merry Christmas and warmest holiday wishes to all from all of us at Wolf Creek Angler. We can’t wait to see what the New Year brings and we’re counting down the days to 2024 on the MO.

We will be closed tomorrow (Christmas Eve) and Monday but will be back on Tuesday for all of your Missouri River fly fishing needs.

Frosted Darkness in Wolf Creek

These are the days of mandatory day dreaming. If it’s a skill you lack as a fly shop owner/operator you will likely struggle from about mid-November to mid-March. If it’s a skill you lack, winter will chew you up and spit you out of Wolf Creek.

Off in the distance, beyond the shadows of the canyon, the hillside is bathed in sunlight in stark contrast to the frosted darkness enveloping Wolf Creek Angler for the months ahead. A different world exists with a quick trip across the Little Prickly Pear. The daily trip to the Wolf Creek Post Office on sunny winter days is a welcomed escape to the radiance. Some days it almost feels tropical.

Meanwhile, back at WCA, the frost that took hold two nights ago is undisturbed, untouched by those rays of sunshine mocking from a distance.
Customers are few and far between these days but they’ll be back soon enough.

In the meantime, the shop is toasty and the coffee is hot and plentiful….perfect conditions to indulge in the pleasure of the day dream. Spurred on by calls from clients settling up on summer bookings, I can’t help but think about the coming season and how, in what will seem like no time at all, we’ll be back in the thick of it.

One can’t help but dream of warm, sunny days spent floating down the Missouri under big blue Montana skies. It’ll be here before you know it!

The return of busy mornings, a crowded shop, busy boat ramps, traffic on and off the water, long days, short nights, rising trout and all the things.

For now, an abundance of solitude. Time to reflect, time to plan ahead, time to read every article in depth about the Detroit Lions and Redwings, time to count flies, time to hike, time to ride the Peloton, time to FISH and time to daydream.

We’re here in body Tuesday – Saturday at 8 AM though the mind may be elsewhere.

Mild weather on tap for the 10 day – give a shout if you’d like to book an escape to the lonely MO.

Winter on the Way?

It’s hard to believe but the descent into darkness has us barreling towards the shortest day (and longest night) of the year just two weeks from now.

In spite of that fact, were it not for the long hours of darkness you might not know we were on winter’s doorstep as the weather hasn’t exactly been what you’d expect for the first week of December.

It’s 60 degrees and sunny as I write which is a carbon copy of yesterday. Breezy in spots, but generally calm out there. Very little traffic yesterday, a few more folks around today but definitely not what you would call crowded.

Nymphers soaking up the sun, swingers doing their swing thing and strippers plying the shadows of the canyon walls. Something for everyone though dry fly opportunities are minimal save some midge activity.

We’re shuttling daily as needed and putting a few boats on the water here and there but the post-Thanksgiving/pre Winter Solstice Silence remains.

We’re getting a few lodging inquiries, though the Inn is Vacant at the moment. Give us a call if you’re interested in taking advantage of this unseasonably mild weather and escaping to the MO. Our newly remodeled bungalows are available all winter long for $149/night plus tax. The best deal on the nicest rooms you’re going to find this winter on the Missouri.

Flows have been steady in the 4400 cfs range with water temps hanging at around 40 degrees. Ideal water conditions no matter the time of year.

Something akin to more normal early December weather conditions will resume starting tomorrow with highs in the high 30’s to low 40’s and lows in the mid 20’s for the next 10 days. Zero precip in the forecast at the moment. Let’s hope that changes.

We’ve enjoyed not shoveling snow but we do need to start building that snowpack and those 2024 stream flows.

Since our Halloween week Winter Storm we haven’t seen much in the way of snow and while it can change quickly, a white Christmas seems unlikely at this point. I hope I’m wrong.

And speaking of Christmas, not counting today there are 18 days left to complete your shopping. We hope you consider us for any fly fishing related gifting including our ever-popular WCA gift cards good for anything and everything we sell.

Some other popular gift ideas this year include Simms flannels, Fishpond Nomad nets, Lamson reels, Sage rods, Simms hats and gloves, WCA logo gear, MFC fly boxes and piles and piles of Missouri River flies.

Happy Shopping and Happy Fishing from WCA!

Happy Thanksgiving from WCA

We have so much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving, not the least of which is the incredible season we just wrapped up at Wolf Creek Angler and that’s all because of you.

Season number 10 was our best ever and judging by what we have on the books for next season, 2024 should be another great year so thank you to all of you who continue to allow us the privilege of doing what we do.

We will be closed today, enjoying family time and football and food and taking stock of just how blessed we are to be able to live in such an amazing place, doing what we love, while having the opportunity to forge relationships with so many great people.

I’ve spent the last few days working on confirmations for next year and while we’ve just concluded this season, we can’t wait for the next one. Spring is a long ways away but talking with folks about next year’s bookings makes it feel a lot closer.

Here’s wishing all of you a blessed Thanksgiving.

We will be back in the shop tomorrow and it looks like a warmup is underway starting this weekend so we hope to see you out there.
