Fishing Conditions:

The Big Hole has stayed fishable and is kicking some tail right now. The streamer bite is still on along with some remaining Skwalas, Caddis popping and Grey Drakes buzzing about. It looks to be a great year on the Big Hole.  Only issue, flows are on the rise and it might turn ugly, but it may hold clarity.  Time will tell.

The streamer bite has been off and on over here the last few days, Yellow is definitely the ticket, and go as big as you would like right now, we've been hearing good things from fishermen over the past few days so now would be the time to go. Who knows what the next few days will bring, but for now it's a streamer and nymph game - if you're nymphing you can't go wrong fishing assorted rubberlegs and dropping san juans and flashy beadheads off the back.
