Paradise Valley Spring Creek Fishing Report

This Montana spring creek fishing report is valid from October 9 until we get some extended cooler weather.

October is usually a good time on the creeks, but the weather has not been friendly. Lots of sun and lots of wind make for tough conditions.

The best fishing will occur during hatches. With the bright skies, midges are most likely. The first few cool days should see intense BWO emergences, because it’s certainly time for them. They just need the right weather.

Fall-run brown trout will be trickling into the creeks, making streamers and egg patterns reasonable bets. This bite will improve through the month and will be best and sunset and on cloudy/wet/miserable days.

Absent a hatch, nymph with midge larvae/pupae, scuds, and tiny BWO.
