Seasons
When to come.
Spring
March – mid May
Before the snow melts. Nymphs, the first bug hatches, and nobody else on the river.
Runoff
Late May – June
The big rivers run high and muddy. We fish lakes and smaller water until they clear.
Summer
July – August
Dry flies and hoppers. Warm days and the busiest weeks, so book early.
Fall
September – October
Cool mornings, gold cottonwoods and the year’s biggest brown trout.
