Montana Trout

We are excited to have Dave Blackburn owner of Kootenai Angler at the shop on the evening of January 30th to discuss "Trout Fishing Opportunities in Northern Montana". Dave will begin his presentation around 6 pm, but we encourage all to come early to join in fellowship with other anglers. This is sure to be a great evening! The event is free, but we do ask you to R.S.V.P with us so we can plan accordingly. If you would like to join, please feel free to reach us at 706-878-3083.

Perseverance Pays

 

Two hours in the pouring rain and right before dusk it quits and Lanier is like glass.

Winter Window

"The calm before the storm". The river finally receded enough for us to get out before more rain came through. With the pre-frontal conditions, the river really showed out!

Farm Tail


Noontootla Creek at "the Farm" showed out yet again yesterday. With all the recent rain, our smaller creeks around the area are fishing great!

Shoulda Known Better

Nice evening on the lake yesterday. Lanier stripers were deep and not interested in eating...until we left just before dark. Our friends Josh England and Keith Ohrstrom boated several right after we pulled out. Ain't that the way it always goes!

Hooch Cam

If you're wondering how the fishing will be after this week of rain, our advice is to get on out there. The river right in Helen is running a little high (294 cfs as I type this) so you'll want to be careful wading. But it's clear and in good shape. The headwater streams will be very good. Dukes Creek and Smith Creek DH will be awesome! Here's the link to the USGS webcam in Helen:

Grab it with your mouse and aim it at the river!
