Missouri River - February 21st, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
3 °
FISHING: Fair
From the looks of things, the ice fishing season will last a little bit longer. You won't be fly fishing the river for awhile, but the walleye fishing on frozen Holter Lake is pretty good. Bring a tent and some heat. You'll need it. You might think about walking to where you're going. A couple of trucks have gone through the ice at Canyon Ferry Lake recently.
The weather is going to go from bad to worse.
Washington's Birthday: Areas of blowing snow after 11am. Mostly sunny, with a high near 27. Wind chill values as low as -3. Breezy, with a west southwest wind between 15 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph.
Tuesday: Areas of blowing snow and a slight chance of snow before 11am, then a chance of snow after 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 26. Wind chill values as low as zero. Breezy, with a west southwest wind between 18 and 23 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.
Tuesday Night: Snow. Low around 1. Southwest wind around 9 mph becoming northeast. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
Wednesday: Snow likely. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near 5. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
Wednesday Night: A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -14. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
Thursday: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near -7.
It gets colder after that. When does spring arrive? We've barely had a taste of it so far.

Missouri River - February 17th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED: 
45 °
FISHING: Good
Hope you had a chance to hit the water in the last few days! When the weather allows, the Missouri has beeen fishing great! The dry fly fishing has been limited but will get better in the very near future. Nymphing has been outstanding recently. Slow water is still the best bet but we have been seeing some beautiful Rainbows in the shallow rifles. Tie on a Firebead Ray Charles, Sow bug, Rainbow Chzec, Pink Lightning bugs, you know the drill. Streamer swinging has been equally effective. The fish have been very grabby on the swing, dead drift and slow retrieve. Olive Bunny and Tan Bunny leeches seemed to produce better than the others. We are at the front end of a winter storm/fishing set back but when it warms again we will have excellent winter fishing. Back to shoveling for now. Cabin Fever is setting back in...

Missouri River - February 14th, 2011

RECORDED: 
50 °
FISHING: Good
Missouri River anglers will have a few days of warmth to embrace until Wednesday or Thursday. Cross your fingers and pray that the wind stays down. The wind can absolutely howl this time of year making fishing and rowing a very unpleasant activity. The Mo has been fishing well on the fishable days. Nymphing is the best bet during these icy months. Arm yourself with Rainbow Chzec's, Tailwater Charlies, Pink Sow Bugs, Blk Zebras anbd Pink Lightning bugs. Fish slow inside slack water and set any movement you see. Streamer fisherman have been doing pretty well retrieving low and slow back to the boat. Swinging streamers w/sinking lines is popular this time of year and can be very effective. Dry fly anglers will start to see more and more Midges from here on out. Clouds will help bring up the noses. Get out while you can and enjoy the warm days we are given. Days are getting longer and average daily temperatures are slowly climbing upward. We will be wet wading in no time!

Legislative Action Alert from Montana TU
February 3, 2011
HELP STOP A RADICAL STREAM ACCESS BILL
THAT WILL MAKE YOU AN OUTLAW
Please write your Montana House Representative TODAY and tell him or her to vote AGAINST HB 309, an extremist bill sponsored by Rep. Jeff Wellborn (R-Dillon) that severely weakens Montana’s stream access law, resulting in many streams you currently fish becoming off limits.
Background:
· HB 309 creates a new definition for “ditches” in Montana’s stream access law. It includes natural streams that have been altered by irrigation structures or irrigation return-flows.
· HB 309 would classify hundreds of miles of natural stream channels as “ditches.” The stream access law already says the public cannot legally recreate on bona fide irrigation ditches (ie., constructed by humans).
· Hundreds of natural stream and river channels in the state have long been used by irrigators. Though these channels have been hydrologically or otherwise modified by irrigation, they are still natural and have supported angling and legal access for recreation for generations.
If this bill passes, you would break the law if you fished these streams without permission of nearby landowners:
· Ruby River below the Ruby irrigation dam
· Poindexter Slough on the Beaverhead River
· Side channels of the Jefferson River
· Fleshman Creek in Livingston
· The East Channel of the Bitterroot River near Tucker Crossing as well as Mitchell Slough
· Sun River
· Spring Creek in Choteau
· Milk River below the St. Mary’s diversion
· Many side channels of the Yellowstone River
· The side channels of Rattlesnake Creek in Missoula
The bill says waters that receive diverted water from irrigation – water moved from one channel to another, or which is not consumed by plants but which returns to the original channel -- can be considered irrigation ditches. That means these waters could become “ditches” and off limits to fishing:
· Upper Clark Fork River
· Bitterroot River
· Yellowstone River
· Beaverhead River
· Big Hole River
· Gallatin River
· Flint Creek
· And most streams and rivers located in irrigated valleys.
Contact your state House representative TODAY and tell him or her:
· The bill sponsor and supporters such as the Montana Farm Bureau and Montana Stockgrowers Association NEVER contacted anglers before this bill was introduced.
· This bill is NOT necessary. It fixes nothing and will result in needless division and lawsuits. Montana's stream access law is clear, the public is not allowed to recreate on bona fide irrigation ditches nor do we want to.
· Tell them Montana’s 26-year-old stream access law works just the way it is.

Missouri River - February 6th, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
20 °
FISHING: Fair
It Super Bowl Sunday and, fortunately, the weather has turned colder. With low clouds, calm winds and flat water, it's tempting to look for a rise or two. Really, it's still a little too cold for that. Football it is.
Winter's bite is starting to leave the air. You can't take it for granted that it will be warm enough outside to have fun on the river. By Tuesday, the weatherman won't let temperatures get above 0°. Later in the week, temperatures will get back to what we're used to - the mid to upper 30's. Most of the time you can have fun on the river.
The water is cold as it should be. It's not freezing, but at 35° F it's plenty cold. For sure the fish know it. They'll eat a slowly presented pink fly of some sort. You'll need some weight because the fish are on the bitter bottom.
Once February hits Montana, the brutal winter memories seem to fade. That's where we're at right now. We're not positive of that.

RECORDED:
55 °
FISHING: Good
Justin was out on Wednesday by the dam. He said it was a really windy but rainbows are gorging on scuds and sow bugs. I was out yesterday and we had pretty good success with streamers. Temps were unbeatable for Jan. It was beautiful out in the morning, it felt like April, then the north winds brought in a cold front about 330. I finally had to put a jacket on....... I was pitching an olive MT Mouthwash in the middle part of the day and then sardina colored MT Mouthwash towards the later part. We picked up a few browns and some really fat angry rainbows.
