There are still some nocturnals out early in the morning, especially way up high. Tungsten beadheads have been working well.  In the afternoon we have been fishing terrestrials (hoppers, ants, and beetles), as well as some smaller parachutes and mayfly imitations.   

Give us a call for more info or to book a trip!  1-406-222-7130.
