: Big Hole River: The river is now flowing at 2840 and the best fishing is above divide with worms and Yuk bugs. All in all its been a tough year to get a real grasp on exactly where the Salmonflies are on this thing this year, probably mostly because of the weather (rainy and cool is never good for the hatch) and that means that you're probably going to see once it warms up the bugs blow upstream very quickly. One thing is a definite bet, and that's that the fish will be healthy and they will be eating streamers. I haven't seen this river in this good of shape in a while. Unfortunately you won't be the only one chasing the hatch over here or the 35" behemoth they pulled out above Eastbank last Friday. Check the story in the Montana Standard, the guy probably deserved it as much as anyone since he's been floating it since he was 14 years old and he's in his 50's. But to say it was big, that's an understatement. Fly pattern suggestions:
Cat Puke Orange and Black: 4-6 Mystery Meat Salmonfly: 4 Henry's Fork Salmonfly: 4-6-8 Berrett's Rubberlegged Salmonfly: 4-6 San Juan Worms (assorted colors): 8-10 Rubberlegs Tan, Chocolate, Black: 6-8 Pheasant Tails: 14-16-18 Anatomay Hares Ear: 12-14-16 Yellow Yummy: 2-4-6 Homewrecker Yellow: 2-4-6 Sex Dungeon Yellow and Natural: 2 Yuk Bug Red Belly & Black: 2-4 Reported by: Montana Troutfitters |

| About: -
The Big Hole River comes to life in the Beaverhead
Mountains south of Jackson, Montana, as the outlet of Skinner Lake, elevation
7,340. Throughout the 155.6 miles it flows, the Big Hole takes on many faces.
From its beginning as a small mountain stream, the Big Hole flows north to
Wisdom, where it gains strength by joining with the North Fork and flows
northeasterly for about 25 miles.
