Fishing on the Lower Big Hole River Winter on the Upper River

[eye_row data_width=”container”][eye_column data_width=”0-12-0″][eye_text]

Good Weather today.  Should be a nice Spring day to be on the Big Hole.  We are still sticking to the stretches below Melrose right now.  It is just to darn cold up the river.  I went for a drive last night to check it out up there and it seems like February on the upper Big hole.  With a Montana snowpack of 120% we are going to have excellent water this year on the Big Hole and Beaverhead Rivers.  We are floating in our drift boats on every stretch below Melrose with good Skwala dry fly action and the nymphing and streamer fishing has been solid.  Look for the Skwala hatch heating up this week as water temperatures reach 45-47 degrees.  2 -3 feet of visability right now.

Remember our spring special ends May 15th.  $500.00 for 3nights lodging and 2 days of guided fishing!
