Bigfork Montana Fly Fishing - Brown drake mayfly

A huge glob of brown drakes.

The hatches are pretty intense right now. If you haven’t ever experienced a dense aquatic insect hatch on one of our rivers then you are missing out. Sure, throwing hoppers is cool and all, but watching huge aquatic insects poor off the river and the fish going ape shit is the pinnacle of fresh water fly fishing. The water conditions this year are setting up for some great hatches late into the summer. See you soon…

I took one of my clients friends out for a couple hours last night to show him a great a hatch. He got this pig on a cripple. You gotta have customer appreciation days once and a while. Now if I could only figure out how to get my camera to focus on the fish and not my ugly mug…
