It is hard to believe but fall has come early to the mountains of SW Montana. There is snow in the high country and temperatures are cooling off quickly. This is good news for anglers. All area rivers are going to be in superb shape this fall. We are not facing any low stream flows or warm water temperatures.
The Big Hole is holding up extremely well. Tricos are hatching and you can still take fish on hoppers when the days warm up. If the dry fly is slow go to stone fly nymphs and copper johns in tandem.
