What a wonderful week we had at Beartooth Flyfishing!! We had a very successful event, the Beartooth Family and the Montana Hope Project Family are so thankful for the awesome community that comes and supports this amazing cause in memory of Grandpa John Delekta. We have been blessed with incredible donations from our event. If you missed it and still want to donate, please call us at 406-682-7525 or send an email to info@beartoothflyfishing.com. Nancy would be happy to help you with guidance on providing donations via check, credit card, and/or cash.
A smorgasbord of entomology has been playing this week from Ants, Hoppers, Nocturnals and PMD’s producing some great top water eats! Dry Fly fishing has been going strong with the various hatches in the morning and evening hours being the strongest action in general with the high water temps in the middle of the day. Nymphing has been solid as usual in the deeper buckets during the cooler hours covering the same hatches we do when dry fly fishing. During the hotter parts of the day the fishing has been a bit tough, but still consistent with the good amount of bug life we are seeing right now.
The Streamer fishing has stayed the same for most of the Summer and has been the most consistent action early and late on the water. Mostly Sculpin patterns this time of the year, but an occasionally flashy or bright colored Streamer with the right conditions can do very well. The biggest fish often eat Streamers, so it is always good to try and throw them now and then.
In closing, we look forward to the better half of terrestrial fishing this August! Here at Beartooth Flyfishing we are open Everyday 7AM-5:30PM! To get current fishing conditions, the best free coffee in the valley and a most awesome retail adventure; come on by, you won’t be disappointed! Tight Lines!
