New Summer Hours
7am-7pm
7 Days a Week
 

To cover the needs of the avid angler we are now open every day from 7am to 7pm. It's about fishing on your schedule, not someone else's.

Dear Kris,

What does every fish love more than any other time of the year? What drives hard working folks to take weeks off and call in sick at their jobs? What is the one thing you have to do before you die? The Answer: Salmonfly Fishing and Attend the Troutfitters BBQ on June 14th!
 
Kick off your summer and fishing season in style by stopping by Troutfitters on June 14th to check out all the new gear, demo rods, have a burger and some beverages and of course get ready to fish Salmonflies all weekend long. Don't bother wasting your Saturday at some celebration, get in on Thursday evening, get your stuff and get out fishing for Father's Day.

Your Salmonfly Update
Big D on the MadWhere to go... 
With the Madison not in full effect and the bugs done on the Henry's Fork and Rock Creek being nearly a 4 hour drive where should you be going?
 
The Big Hole! My friends were over on Sunday and the fishing was fantastic in the morning on big dries. They floated from Melrose all the way to Notch Bottom and fish were up and looking at flies all day.
 
Your best bet is to get up early, or ahem.... take some time off of work and camp at Divide or Melrose and get on the water early. The best concentration of bugs right now is around the Browns to Glen stretch.
 
What to Look For...
Now with cooler weather in the forecast along with rain, chances are that you are going to want to call us and figure out where the bugs are moving to, because they may not move much at all with cool temps.  
 
What to Use...
Fly wise, the Cat Puke is going to be the ticket again this year, I have seen a few new patterns, but nothing worth fishing over this bad boy. It's a low floater but it does the ticket. Also the CFO Hummer Stone worked quite well on the Big Hole, you probably want to stop in and get your bugs before heading over, because you don't want to have to stop on your way over!
