The good news, after a couple not so good years, thanks to heavy silt laden runoff, the Beav below High Bridge is once again cookin, as brim full a trout...lots a trout...lots a fat trout...good as good news gets. Scenes such as these are once again a dime a dozen...
 |
| Fat, healthy rainbows... |
|
|
 |
| Rods bent to the max... |
 |
| Heavyweight browns at every bend... |
With all signs pointing to a great year now's the time...like you never know what tomorrow might bring until tomorrow and by then it might be too late.
The "not so hot" news is the Big Hole continues to yo-yo up and down, gripped in a holding pattern so to speak. The big rain we were supposed to get this weekend which might have started the high country snow melt didn't happen. So the river is once again falling...good news in the short term, since it will no doubt start fishing again soon. But with all that snow still sitting up there should it ever warm up and warm up fast...look out. Scenes such as these are no doubt nothing compared to what the river and its many tribs might look like...

| Big Hole last year at about 9000 cfs...better duck. |
|
 |
| Wise River above Lacy Creek, two days ago...runnin pretty good but like I said we ain't seen nothin yet... |
 |
| Wyman Creek this time last year...obviously barely beginning to runoff.... |
Should the big event hold off for the time being, the Mother's Day caddis should start popping on the Big Hole any day now; look for fish to stack on the soft side of the river, the eddies and back waters.
