There is some fantastic fishing in the area, which unfortunately, leads to less posts coming out of Frontier Anglers.  The Beav has been producing some of the best fish we've seen in years. A week or so ago, Mike and I took my cousin Ken out for an evening float and Ken's introduction to... Read more

On Friday, flows on the Beaverhead were bumped up from our winter-long 250cfs to 348cfs.  Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions... Read more

With the ongoing construction on the dam, it has been a gamble to head over to the Ruby - especially when the waters around town are fishing so well.  Well, I rolled the dice on Friday and after seeing the dirty water at Alder Bridge, I thought it might not pay off.  However, I... Read more

Mornin' everyone.  We've been getting a whole ton of phone calls lately with people asking about snowpack and out forecast for the upcoming summer.  The chart below shows our snowpack as of this morning, April 7th.  As you can see, highlighted in blue at the bottom, we're at just... Read more

We've been super busy here at the shop with catalog orders, bookings for the summer, and local guys coming in to cash in on some of the awesome spring fishing we're experiencing on the Beaverhead.  In between all the hecticness (that's surely a word), I've still found time almost everyday...

We have been super busy since our catalog hit the streets, and we've unfortunately been ignoring the blog for a few days.  However, Jeff's awful haircut was reason enough for me to get on here and make a quick post.  We want to thank everyone for their orders so far, and they're still... Read more

Things are shaping up to be an average year - and by average we don't mean ho-hum boring average but hopper smashing browns and drag melting rainbows average.  As you can see, our corner of the state is slightly drier than the rest but this should produce a fishable salmon fly hatch and, after...

Got into the shop this morning and looked at our Frontier Anglers homepage and noticed something was... different.  The USGS gauge at Barretts read ~330cfs.  That's way lower than it has been.  Could it be... Did they really?!  Quick, check the Clark Canyon info! Yup,... Read more

 Our 1st Float of the year- Spring is coming - it's March.  The BWO's (Blue Wing Olives) are kicking around and the big trout are waking up from winter and starting to prowl the feeding lanes.  Although still a bit chilly it's worth getting out, just dress... Read more

We escaped the shop on Super Bowl Sunday and found some open water on the Big Hole.  In the late afternoon, after the slush and iceberg hatch petered out, we were treated with risers sipping midges and a few productive hours of warm and windless fishing.  Not bad for early February. ... Read more

Top of the morning to all, on this lovely Monday in late February.  Things are starting to feel like spring around here, even if the thermometer this morning didn't quite agree.  Longer days, ringing phones, and spring snowstorms have been the main courses on our menu the last few... Read more

Well, the rivers are all iced up pretty good and aside from a bunch of ducks on the Beaverhead, there's not much going on right now in terms of fishing.  If this warmer forecast pans out and we lose some of the ice, fishing will be good on the Beaverhead below Pipe Organ and on Poindexter...

Tim just got back to the shop after a fine day of waterfowl hunting with Dick Sievert and his buddy Chris.  By 10:00 this morning, our hunters had a limit of Green Heads (7 ea), and ended the day with 3 big Canadian Honkers.  All shots were over decoys, and no further than 30... Read more
