The “16/20”

The Yellowstone has been hit or miss the last few days, (surprise, surprise).  The good news is that the “w”  has let up a little, (knock on wood) hence the midge dry fly fishing has improved drastically.  If you are looking for better dry fly action the valley is a good bet.  Look for slower…

Yellowstone River

The Yellowstone has been tougher the last few days.  Partly due to the sun, partly due to the wind.  Despite the really cold water temperature, we’ve had some good lunch time swats and a few evening tugs.   If you’re really after fish this time of year, nymph fishing with a big juicy rubberleg lead…

Lower Madison fishing well

We’ve had several good reports from the lower Madison lately.  “The report is that the fishing is excellent, there’s no ice, there’s no people, and yesterday there was hardly any wind.  Low and slow is the way to go!”  This is one of the best times of the year to catch larger, predatory fish on…

Sage ONE 6 Weight Fly Rod Review

We’ve been fishing both the 690 and 691 Sage ONE a lot this winter.  To sum it up – they are incredibly light, stiff, and powerful rods.    On our last outing to Armstrong’s we were faced with 50+ mph winds, which made the creek look more like an ocean than a trout stream.   The…

50% Off Overstocked Flies

Yup, that’s right.  We are overstocked on a few patterns due to last year’s high water and slower start and are selling them for 50% off on our Deep Deals page.   To re-organize the fly bins, we are blowing out some great flies at wreaking ball prices.  Why?  In order to make room for…

Battling the Elements

We didn’t get much snow from the storm, (maybe 2 or 3 inches is all).  Temperatures did drop significantly however,  the bank’s thermometer in town read -1.  Add a steady 35 north wind to that and your fingers will loose dexterity in about 2 minutes.  Solution?  Catch a brown in the first 120 seconds, reel…
