: Big Hole River: Depending on the person you talk to it's either been as good as it's ever been, or it's been a bit hit or miss the last few days, we'd opt for somewhere in between. Good water levels, good bug hatches, good fishing in the evenings, probably slowing a bit in the sunny bright hot afternoons without hoppers to eat yet, one thing is for sure - the river is in great shape and if any area of Montana deserved a good water year it was the Big Hole! We've got a few float days over here so if you're interested give us a ring, but really the dries right now with caddis, yellow sallies, some pmd's, lots of caddis, is making for some great top water fishing. How long that goes, who knows but soon after there will be hoppers over here. Enjoy the fruits of a good water year and take a day on the Big Hole the middle of the summer this year, it will be worth it. Oh yeah and if you're a glutton like myself, throw a yellow streamer or two early in the morning or late in the evening for a big guy! Fly pattern suggestions:

| 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.
