The Flathead River is still blown out with snow melt and spring rains but we have been doing real well on Rogers Lake for the Grayling and Cutthroat Trout. Also Flathead Lake is fishing well in the shallows for nice Lake Trout see photo enclosed this one was caught on Saturday. Also I was on the Clark Fork on Friday and we caught some nice Rainbows.

The Salmon fishing on our local lake is great right now catching them trolling and jigging both a few up to 18" long. We have also done well on Flathead lake in the shallows with bait fish for the Lake Trout, I had one happy customer last week when we did a full day trip and he landed 20 plus fish between 3 and 11 pounds was a fun day. the day before I had the same client up on Rogers Lake and he landed over 40 Grayling up to 16 inches. Yeasterday I was up on Cedar lake and did pretty well on the Rainbow Trout up to 15 inches.

May 7 Fishing Report

The spring fishing is great fight now on Lake Rogers for Grayling and a few Cutthroat on the fly rod with nymphs and once in a while in a hatch on dries. Fly fishing for Northern Pike has been very active lately with lots of small ones and a few nice ones on Smith Lake and the river sloughs. I caught a 27 lb. Lake Trout on last Friday the 4th of May but put in lots of time for two bites but it was worth it. Come fish now it is time.

Spring Fishing

Spring fishing is here in the Flathead with high muddy water in the rivers. We are fishing lakes like Flathead for Lake Trout in shallow water. I landed a 14.3 lb one in 6 feet of water on Friday was fun along with the other 14 fish I caught. Lake Rogers is picking up and I will report on that next week. I have been catching a few small Northern Pike on the fly rod and hoping the larger ones should be in spawning any day.

Catching up on the winter

I've been having problems with my fishing report so I will catch up a little now and stay caught up form here on. January, Febuary was Ice fishing catching Grayling, Cutthroat, Northern Pike and Salmon. The first part of March I went to Idaho for Steelhead and we hit it just right timing is everything with that. Lately we have been fishing Flathead Lake for Lake Trout been getting a few nice ones, photos show the proof.

Fly Fishing still good for the hardy

The fish are still bititng and the Lake Superior Whitefish are schooled up in the river now. They can be fished with jigs on light spinning gear and also be caught once in a while on the fly rod also as in the photo.

Fishing Still Good

The fishing on the Flathead is still good even with some hot weather we caught these fish last week and the rainbow is a measured 18 inches.
