Visions run through our minds of big brawling rivers, and driftboats plunging from pool to pool.
Big bugs, big rivers, and big fish keep anglers coming back year after year to chase the Salmonfly hatch around western Montana. This year, however, the snow pack in the mountains is low. While this spells problems for late summer, it also means another year of fabulous Salmonfly fishing. We expect most rivers to be fishable by the middle of June this year with the occasional downpour of rain muddying things up periodically. Salmonfly hatches are limited to faster water with cobble or boulders.
