Guided Montana Small Stream Fishing and Tactics

A Montana Small Stream Fly-Fishing Trip  requires Anglers to be versatile. Normally, our usual approach is fishing with Stonefly and Hopper patterns with a bead-head nymph underneath. During insect hatches we fish dry flies to rising trout. When Trout are being finicky small streamers will often get their attention.

Montana Small Stream Hatches Insect hatches on Montana Walk-and-Wade streams vary depending on the gradient, flow and elevation. Although the hatches are not as intense as on the Missouri River they do get the Trout to look up. Depending on the time of the Season Hatches inculde :

  • Salmon Flies
  • Green Drakes
  • Brown Drakes
  • Caddis
  • P.M.D.s
  • B.W.O.’s
  • Skawalas
  • Golden Stones

Terrestrials include:

  • Hoppers
  • Ants
  • Beetles
* Your Montana Walk & Wade Guide will have all the necessary flies to ensure your day is a success.
