Montana Fish Report

Fishing in the box canyon this year has stayed consistent in terms of tactics and bugs used to find fish. Your best bet will still be to run a dropper rig with a golden stone imitation on as the top fly. These goldens like to hang around throughout the year, so the fish are still very used to seeing them and some more than willing to eat the bigger terrestrial. In terms of selection for nymphs keep it simple, stick with perdigon nymphs, smaller rubber legs, and other attractor patterns. Flows out of the box currently are at 1,700 cfs, don’t be surprised if while fishing the flows are raised to meet the irrigation demands down south in the valley. This is usually always unfortunate for the fishing but is something that is common for the dryer months of the summer.
