FISHING: Good
Summer rates are in affect and you will need to call for reservations. Space is limited during the summer months. Nelson's and Armstrong's are fishing the best right now with Armstrong's being my choice of the three creeks. Since the floods in 96 and 97 the creeks have changed and Armstrong's holds most of the fish throughout the summer months. Look for the fish in the shallow fast riffles and in the deeper buckets below the fast water. Sight fishing is very good on Armstrong's right now. There are hatches of PMD's, Sulphurs and caddis. Midge larvae are always a good bet if you are running nymphs at the finicky fish in the riffles. If you are fishing Depuy's give the pond in front of the house a try if you are having trouble locating fish. Stripping leech patterns in the pond can provide some very good fishing.
Armstrong's (406) 222-2979
Depuy's (406) 222-0221
Nelson's (406) 222-2159
