Montana Fish Report

With flows near Saint Anthony at 824 cfs on the Teton, the river has finally whipped into shape for some decent fishing since our last report. As echoed throughout this report, getting on the river early to fish spinner falls will be the best strategy for catching fish here. I would also not be surprised to see some PMD’s hatching as the day progresses before lunch. With the hotter temperatures fishing a cripple PMD like a limestone cripple would do good for imitating the bugs as they struggle to shake free of their nymphal shucks in the heat. Fishing will more than likely turn off after lunch, so switching to a hopper dropper rig to try and find fish eating under the surface while giving the opportunity for eats on top will be your best course of action.
