Montana Tailwater | Overcoming Challenging Conditions
Tailwater fishing can be very difficult, but rewarding. We began our Montana trip on the Bighorn river as we traveled West to visit my cousin, Nick. Fishing in Montana can be great! However things don't always go as planned. On our visit to the Bighorn we were greeted by high water levels with flows over 9,500 cfs. Despite the high water we were still able to use some tight-line nymphing tactics to bring a few fish to the net and warm up for our next stop - the Missouri.
Gear we needed on the Bighorn:
- 11ft 3wt Risen Fly rod -
- Wading staff ( )
- SealLine ( )
Flies:
- Lively legz pheasant tail
- Caddis pupae
- Sulfur perdigon

Helena Freak Fest 2014
Bret Boundy hosted Freak Fest Lite 2014 at his home in Rimini, Montana. Originally inspired by Burning Man, the Festival has been held for years on the frozen ice of Canyon Ferry Reservoir. As described by Kathie Fronapel, the festival featured the torching of a self-portrait sculpture by India Bauer and traditional Burning of the Beast, by Bret Boundy. Lots of good people and music.
HATCH - BIG SKY PMDs - Montana Fly Fishing by Todd Moen
Each July, I find myself heading back to my home state of Montana. Over the past 15 years, many of these trips have included an adventure with my good friend and master spring creek angler, Pete Corbett who is owner of Creekside Angling Company in Issaquah, Washington. We like to fish the Southwest region of the state. For this 2013 fly fishing trip, we met in Dillon, Montana. This time Pete fished some of our favorite public water, and we hit the PMD hatch that usually occurs in late June and early July. We were in the right place at the right time! The PMDs popped, coming off in thick numbers, with fish hungry and aggressively rising to chow down on the first big hatch of the summer. The second half of this video shoot was taken on a one-day walk/wade of McCoy's Spring Creek, and we had some pretty good action there as well. Southwest Montana never lets me down!

Epic Rainbow Trout Fight in Montana
We took a weekend trip to Helena and fished various parts of the Missouri River. It was awesome. My younger brother was using a new Reddington 6 wgt with a rig consisting of small slip shot, a San Juan locator, and a #20 Uintah Fly Shop Black Zebra Midge as the dropper. This fish was about 24 inches. He fought it for nearly 10 minutes. Skip ahead to the 8-minute mark to get to the end of the fight! Video was shot on Saturday, May 2, 2015. You can buy the midge at Enjoy!

Monster Missouri River Trout
Hunting, Fishing and being in the great Montana outdoors is where I love to be. December 4th was an amazing day on the Missouri River. The trout were baiting all day. It was cold and windy but I still was able to land a bunch of really nice fish. This was one hell of a start to winter fishing!!!
