CURRENT FISING REPORT – 7/22/26

Below Holter Dam is fishing well but things are starting to heat up. Daytime temps are getting into the 90’s currently and the water is staring to warm up.

Trico’s are still out in the mornings and just a few caddis during the day. Best dry fly action has been Trico patterns in the morning with caddis in the mix. In the afternoon, terrestrial patterns (Hoppers, Ants and Beatles) have been getting some attention.  

Nymph fishing has been pretty consistent through out the day as well. Its Big bug season! Fishing a Crawfish pattern with something shiny (Rainbow Warrior, Mirage Perigons, Spanish bullets ect..) under it has had great results.

Below Hauser dam is fishing great as well. Some of the same patterns as below Holter Dam will work below Hauser as well. Leeches are still getting attention along with Crawdad’s. 

All the lakes around Helena are fishing as well. Balanced Leeches, Chironomids, Scuds and Damsels are what we are selling the most in the shop for the lakes. 

The weeds are letting go and there is grass in the water column, but fishing is still doing well at this point. Come on into the shop and we will help you find the right Flies for the job!
