Fishing Locations

The Stillwater has been fluctuating with the changes in weather and mositure. Nymphing  is the best option with stoneflies and general attractors such as copper johns or lightning bugs. Streamer fishing has been decent and getting better with smaller natural colored streamers. Fall baetis are also out and about on the colder days.  Always be careful wading and floating on the Stillwater, this can be a dangerous river if you're not paying attention. The morning may start off somewhat slow but as the day warms the fish will start feeding more. With the recent precipitation in the higher elevations in this area, watch for some discoloration and rising waters.
