Dropping into beautiful, stable shape with good clarity, mid-day water temp around 55°F, running near 927 CFS at Clinton. Wading is becoming more realistic, but the creek still has push in the main channel and is getting bony for floating in spots.
Blackfoot River Fishing Report, June 15, 2026

Bitterroot River Fishing Report, June 12, 2026
The Bitterroot has dropped into great shape and is the safest all-around bet in the region, with salmonflies slowing up high as golden stones take over river-wide. Dry-dropper rigs and a big streamer are both producing.
Madison River Fishing Report, June 12, 2026
Fishing on the Upper Madison has been pretty decent over the last several weeks, with wind the main complaint rather than the water. The bigger story this week is rising flows: Hebgen is essentially full, so the dam is finally sending water downstream.
Missouri River Fishing Report, June 12, 2026
The Missouri is fishing well and squarely into its dry-fly prime, a few weeks early. Flows are dropping back toward average near 3,160 CFS at Holter, and fish are eating heavily.
Rock Creek Fishing Report, June 11, 2026
The salmonfly madness has resumed: a 5/5 rating, the bulk of the hatch in the upper half of the creek, and great catches reported. Get in on it before it’s too late.
Bitterroot River Fishing Report, June 11, 2026
The best overall option in the region: clarity is great, the fish are hungry, and salmonflies are underway on the upper river and both forks. Floaters, watch the log jams.
Clark Fork River Fishing Report, June 11, 2026
Two stories on one river: the upper Clark Fork has cleared nicely while the lower stays big and off color. The freshest report says it is fishing incredibly well right now, and June should be good.
Blackfoot River Fishing Report, June 11, 2026
It’s go time: salmonflies are starting to come off and the Blackfoot gets more fishable by the day. Deep nymphing leads, chubby dropper season is open, and the famous hatch is building.
Madison River Fishing Report, June 11, 2026
The Upper Madison has fished decently with wind the main limiter. The bigger story now is rising water out of Hebgen, which should turn on the streamer bite and set up the salmonfly emergence around mid-month.
Missouri River Fishing Report, June 11, 2026
Rain is the story of the week, with the Missouri bumping to 3,500 CFS and now dropping back toward 3,300 to 3,400. The tributaries have cleared, the Dearborn is adding a liked green tint downstream, and the PMD and caddis hatches are both on in force. Heavy June traffic at Craig means go early or go late.
