Montana Fly Fishing 2008 SPECIAL

FOUR NIGHTS LODGING / THREE DAYS FISHING WITH THE CLASSIC JOURNEY OUTFITTERS

$895 per angler

Hatches - 

May/June - Our full complement of the Big Bug game.  Salmonflies come in first in late May and by the end of June we are full of Goldens and Green Drakes. 

July - A consistent rising fish game grounded in PMDs and the evening Caddis blitz. Also Goldens will linger late into the month giving a nice big bug option. 

August - The best of the best Hopper fishing in the afternoon and great pods of fish on tricos in the morning.  On rainy August days we get Hecubas (Fall Green Drakes) which can be some of the most rediculous fishing of the year on the Bitterroot.

September - The most consistent fishing conditions month of the whole year.  Late in the month Mahogonies and Blue Wing Olives and in early September you are still playing the Hopper/Trico game.

October - A great trophy fish time of year.  However not ideal for beginners, but for an experienced angler an excellent time of year to match your dry fly skills with the brutes.  Fish are up on Mahogonies and Blue Wings with more motivation and the pre-spawn brownie bite in the morning is exceptional. 

Weather Conditions - May through early September is true summer fishing and is generally nice with most days we are wet wading. By mid September we are back in the waders and by October its cold in the morning, but cool and pleasant in the afternoon.  For those anglers that love the Fall Splendor of our foliage turning, then late September and early October is the best.

Outfitter Joe Cummings #9438

Missoula is the world's best rising fishing complex. No where else can you push a dry fly with utter confidence starting in March and never have to go beneath the surface again until November.

Look in our guide boats. You won't see strike indicators and double beaded nymph rigs rigged up in the rod holsters ready to be handed off to our guests. You WILL see many concoctions of different dry fly patterns that fool trout, such as: parachutes of all shades, CDC on scud hooks, spinners, snowshoe emergers, Wulffs, Trudes, Big Foamies, Little Foamies, Feth Hoppers, Half Down Stoneflies, Low Pro Stones, and some secret guide flies that just seem to make them eat it. So if you want to SEE trout come to your fly, then Missoula Fly Fishing is for YOU!
