The 2009 "Montana Fly Fishing" season is here!
Fishing and water conditions are looking great for the entire season!
Five Rivers Lodge is located in southwest Montana’s Beaverhead and Big Hole watersheds. Precipitation in our local mountains is fantastic with the snowpack sitting above 120%. This means we’ll have floatable, super-charged rivers all season. In the past, lower water conditions and warmer temperatures sometimes have diminished insect hatches. This year we expect the ample water supply will yield tremendous hatches which should produce exceptional fishing.
Spring fishing this year has been off the charts and we feel it’s going to do nothing but get better. The Mothers’ Day Caddis hatch was crazy as the cooler temps have the Big Hole River at the perfect level and clarity. And next. . .the 747s of the bug world, Salmon Flies. We’re already catching fish on large Stone Flies, so the bottom must have a ton of them for the trout to munch on. Then, it’s on to July, August, September, and into October with some of the best Hopper fishing in the world, along with May Flies, Caddis, Spruce Moths, and Tricos.
The Beaverhead River, as always, is going to be excellent. With the reservoir filling with snowmelt, the flow rates will be consistent and the Yellow Sally, Pale Morning Duns, Caddis, Crane Flies, Blue Wing Olives, and Terrestials will flourish. This in turn, will produce some of the best fishing in North America. According to Montana state fish biologists, recent shocking shows the most trout in the 3 to 4 year old range since they have been keeping records. This means an abundance of 18" fish.
With the great water conditions, the Ruby, Jefferson, and Madison Rivers also should build on last year’s great fishing and fish better than they have in many years.
Photo ops of fish could be at an all time high. We hope you can take advantage of this outstanding season and our booking special to come spend some time with us at Five Rivers Lodge.
