The other side of run off.



I have put on to almost 1000 miles traveling around the state in search of fishable water this week.  I have concentrated on the Beaverhead and Missouri rivers.  Both rivers had there share of pressure, but that is to be expected.  The majority of the rivers have peaked and are now on the downward side of the bell curve.  There are reports of some Salmonflies on the Lower Madison and it has stopped raining for the time being.  The fishing has been good, but the summer should be even better.  All of the drainage's that we fish have gone from a bleak 65-70% of snowpack to almost 100%.  Conditions may be tough at the moment, but we are still getting our share, and having a great time on the river.
