The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Water conditions should be perfect. It was really a high water year, with muddy runoff well into July. We found high water and slowed bug hatches right up to the end of July everywhere we went. A friend just got back from the big hole river. Said it was the best fishing they've had is 15 years. They always go the first three weeks of August (only time work will let them off) and usually they face low, warm water. Water conditions this year were terrific. this was one of the few years that it would have been better to fish Montana in August instead of July. Hope you have a great time!
