Montana Fish Report

Fall Chinook fishing was moderate to good following the last high water event. There should be fish available throughout the system. The Wilson can get low and clear fairly fast, so pay attention to water conditions and target it on the drop after rain events. Bobber fishing bait, back-bouncing, back-trolling plugs or divers and bait, or casting spinners can all be effective methods. Anglers are reminded the Wilson River is closed to salmon fishing Aug. 1 to Dec. 31, upstream of Jordan Creek (River Mile 21.9).
