Fishing Report: Febuary 11th.....
It is winter in Craig, Mt. But the weather for this week is looking better. Predicted highs this week are Friday and Saturday with a temperatures reaching the mid 40s. That combined with some cloud cover, should get some trout looking up at midges.
Griffin gnats or small parachutes trailed with emerging midge patterns can be very effective.
Nymphing with pink scuds and midge patterns can pay off as well, especially up by the dam.
Streamers? Go small, slow and deep. With water temperatures near freezing, the fish are sluggish.

Fishing Report: I spent the last 10 days at Crane Meadow Lodge in Twin Bridges, MT. There is nothing like cool, mountain air at the end of a long, hot summer in Florida and cool mountain air is what we had. We experienced a variety of weather conditions from frost, rain, snow, hail and even a thunderstorm. My wife, Karen, joined me for the first week and the weather started off great; crisp mornings and warm, sunny afternoons. Our timing was perfect, as we had planned to fish the first two days and then do a couple of days of sightseeing.
Karen is an experienced angler, although not with a fly rod, but she did great. We fished the Ruby River and several ponds on the Kennedy Ranch, an 8,000-acre ranch where the lodge is located. Although we weren’t counting, we probably caught 30 or 40 trout on nymphs and streamers with several in the 18” class. The next day we floated the Beaverhead River and also had good action. The fish weren’t as big, but in the fast current, the fight was good.
We spent the next day in Yellowstone National Park viewing some spectacular scenery. We took in most of the geysers, including Old Faithful, thermals, hot springs and the “Grand Canyon” of Yellowstone. We also saw lots of deer, elk and buffalo. The next day we took a scenic drive on the Pioneer Mountain Scenic Byway, parts of it a gravel road, through the Beaverhead National Forest. As we climbed to about 10,000 feet, it snowed hard for about 3 hours, a treat for Florida folks.
