Introduction The headwaters of the Bitterroot River originate from two-major Head Waters. The East Fork of the Bitterroot River originates from the Sapphire Mountains and Anaconda Pintler Wilderness Areas. The West Fork of the Bitterroot River originates from the Bitterroot Mountains and the Selway – Bitterroot Wilderness Areas. The West Fork of the Bitterroot River was dammed in the early 1900’s creating Painted Rocks Reservoir. Below Painted Rocks Reservoir lies the tail-water fishery section of the West Fork of the Bitterroot River, which flows downstream to its confluence with the East Fork of the Bitterroot River north of the town of Conner, Montana. The East Fork of the Bitterroot River is still a free flowing stream. The Wild Fires of “2000” burned much of the timberland in the headwaters of both drainages. During spring run-off and summer thunderstorms the East Fork of the Bitterroot River turns turbid from the ash that is washed into the river from the tributaries flowing into the river. The West Fork of the Bitterroot River however remains clear, Painted Rocks Reservoir allows the headwater run-off to settle out within the reservoir before entering the West Fork of the Bitterroot River below the dam. The East Fork of the Bitterroot River confluence with the West Fork of the Bitterroot River forms the mainsteam of the Bitterroot River, which flows northerly to its confluence with the Clarkfork River outside the city of Missoula, Montana. The Bitterroot River trout fishery has experienced depravation from mankind since the early 1900’s when Marcus Daly “The Copper King” and others commissioned the building of an extensive network of irrigation canals throughout the Bitterroot Valley. The largest canal is the Big Ditch, which runs northerly over seventy-five miles in length traversing the eastside of the Bitterroot River Valley. They built large diversion dams across the Bitterroot River and diverted most of the tributaries in the Bitterroot Valley. These diversion dams dewater the Bitterroot River severely during the summer months. Most of the Bitterroot Tributaries become dry during critical spawning periods for Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout and Bull Trout. With these depravation problems on the Bitterroot River there are still some sections of the Bitterroot River that offer good fishing for Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout and to a lesser degree Bull Trout. The Bitterroot River at time offers some excellent dry fly fishing. In March and April there are Stone Flies: Skwala Stone Flies (Skwala parallela) and Winter Stone Flies (Capina sp.), May Flies: Midges (Diptera / Chironomous), Early Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis tricaudatus), Dark Gray Quill (Ameletus connectus) and Caddies Flies: Grannom (Brachycentrus occidentalis) and Green Sedge (Ryacophila sp.). In May, June, July and August there are Stone Flies: Salmon Fly (Pteronarcys californica), Western Big Golden Stone Fly (Calineuria californica), Western Medium Golden Brown Stone Fly (Isoperla sp.), Little Yellow Stone Fly (Alloperla pallidula) and Little Olive Stone Fly (Alloperla delicata); May Flies: Midges (Diptera / Chironomous), Late Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis parvus), Little Western Blue-Winged Olive (Ephemerella margarita), Western Green Drake (Drunella grandis), Pale Morning Dun (Ephemerella inermis and Ephemerella infrequens), Small Western Green Drake (Ephemerella flavilinea), Western Leadwing (Isonychia sicca) and Dark Gray Quill (Ameletus connectus); Caddis Flies: Grannom (Brachycentrus occidentalis), Green Sedge (Ryacophila sp.), Great Gray Spotted Sedge (Arctopsyche grandis), Little Tan Short Horn Sedge (Glossosoma sp.), Ring Horn Microcaddis (Leucotrichia pictipes), Spotted Sedge (Hydropsyche sp.), Little Sister Sedge (Cheumatopsyche campyla) and Little Plain Brown Sedge (Lepidostoma pluviale). In September and October there are May Flies: Late Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis parvus), Little Western Blue-Winged Olive (Ephemerella margarita), Tiny Western Olive (Pseudocloeon edmundsi), Pale Morning Dun (Ephemerella inermis and Ephemerella infrequens), Gray Drake (Siphlonurus occidentalis), White Winged Black (Tricorythodes minutus), Caddis: Giant Orange Sedge (Dicosmoecus sp.) and Midges (Diptera / Chironomous).

Introduction The Yellowstone Drainage supports the largest inland population of native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout on Earth. The Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout is considered a shared resource in Yellowstone Lake: Grizzly Bears, Black Bears, Bald Eagles Golden Eagles, Pelicans, Osprey, Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, Gulls, Grebes, Terns, Loons, Mergansers, Mink, Otters, Wolves and Coyotes prey upon Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. In the Yellowstone drainage 200,000-pounds of Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout are eaten each year by these animals and birds. Yellowstone Lake is the largest fresh water lake in the United States above 7,000-feet, it’s altitude is 7,733-feet above sea level. The Yellowstone Lake encompasses 136 square miles, it is 20-miles long, 14-miles wide and has 110-miles of shoreline. Yellowstone Lake is 320-feet deep at its deepest point. The average depth is 139-feet. Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout generally inhabit the upper 60-feet because their food source rarely occurs below that depth. The average surface temperature in August is 60 degrees Fahrenheit; the bottom the temperature never rises above 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The serenity of Yellowstone Lake can suddenly change with afternoon thunderstorms and their accompanying winds. These winds can routinely produce 3-foot waves or larger within minutes on Yellowstone Lake. With water temperatures averaging 41 degrees Fahrenheit you can develop hypothermia quickly if your vessel capsizes. Fishing season in Yellowstone Lake opens June 15th each year, usually! There are 124-tributaries the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout use for spawning including the largest tributary, the Yellowstone River. These spawning tributaries open July 15th each year, however some remain closed all year. The use of all lead fishing tackle is band; fisherman must use Non-Toxic alternative products. The West Thumb geyser basin area has intense heat in the lake sediments, which indicate a shallow thermal system underlying this more recent caldera. If the lake level should fall just a few feet, an immense steam (hydrothermal) explosion could occur here. Mary Bay and Indian Pond now show evidence of these craters.

Introduction Hebgen Lake is one of the most productive reservoirs on this planet. The largest tributary to Hebgen Lake is the famous Madison River. The Madison River is the world’s largest Chalkstream. The Madison River is formed by the confluence of the Firehole River and Gibbon River at Madison Junction inside Yellowstone National Park. The thousands of Thermals, Geysers and Fumerals in its headwater tributaries; the Firehole River and the Gibbon River enrich the Madison Rivers ecosystem. This enriched water flows into the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake. The entire Madison Arm contains massive weed beds and most of the Madison Arm is less than thirty-feet deep; which is perfect for prolific insect growth. Hebgen Lake elevation is 6,630-feet above sea level and is 22-miles in length. Hebgen Lake contains Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Utah Chubs and Sculpins. Hebgen Lake contains Brown Trout, which will break the current Montana State record. During a fisheries study on Hebgen Lake in the early 1990’s a Hebgen Lake Brown Trout Brood Stock was captured in a fish trap on Duck Creek, which is a tributary to Hebgen Lake. This Brown Trout weighed over 30-pounds. The Montana State record is 29-pounds and was caught in Wade Lake, Montana in 1966 by E. H. Bacon. The fisheries biologist who was conducting the fisheries study was known to fish the “Narrows” by Kirkwood using Utah Chubs, a large Cannon Ball weight bounced off the bottom in attempt to catch this state record Brown Trout. Hebgen Lake is world renowned for its “Gulper” fishing during the White Winged Black emergence (Tricorythodes minutus) and Speckled Dun emergence (Callibaetis nigritis) in July, August and September. During this time of the year one will find ten to thirty-float tubers in the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake.

Introduction The Yellowstone River within Yellowstone National Park is the world’s best Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout fishery. The Yellowstone River within the park can be divided into three-distinctive sections. The headwaters of the Yellowstone River begin on the east side of the Continental Divide from the Shoshone Mountain Range of Wyoming. The Yellowstone River flows northerly into Yellowstone Lake, elevation 7,733-feet. Yellowstone Lake is the largest lake at this elevation on the continent. The mid-section of the Yellowstone River, which flows out of Yellowstone Lake downstream to the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River lies the world renown section of the Yellowstone River where hundreds of people flock to on July 15th “Opening Day” every year. The lower section, below the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River flows through the Canyon of the Yellowstone downstream to the Yellowstone National Park Boundary, by the town of Gardner, Montana is probably the least fished section of the Yellowstone River. The fishing seasons opens July 15th every year which allows the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Brood Stock to spawn and gives the Yellowstone Cutthroat Fry time to emerge from the redds before the wade fishermen can step on them. The headwaters and mid-section of the Yellowstone River are the major spawning areas for the Yellowstone Lake Cutthroat Trout Fishery. The Yellowstone River is a premiere dry fly fishing river with prolific hatches of May Flies: Early Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis tricaudatus), Late Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis parvus), Little Western Blue-Winged Olive (Ephemerella margarita), Western Green Drake (Drunella grandis), Pale Morning Dun (Ephemerella inermis and Ephemerella infrequens) and Small Western Green Drake (Ephemerella flavilinea); Stone Flies: Salmon Fly (Pteronarcys californica), Western Big Golden Stone Fly (Calineuria californica), Western Medium Golden Brown Stone Fly (Isoperla sp.) and Little Yellow Stone Fly (Alloperla pallidula); Caddis: Green Sedge (Ryacophila sp.), Little Tan Short Horn Sedge (Glossosoma sp.), Spotted Sedge (Hydropsyche sp.) and Giant Orange Sedge (Dicosmoecus sp.).

Introduction Rock Creek is located 25-east of Missoula, Montana off Interstate 90. Rock Creek headwaters originate from three-Mountain Ranges. The North Fork of Rock Creek and the West Fork of Rock Creek originate from the Sapphire Mountain Range. The East Fork of Rock Creek and the Middle Fork of Rock Creek originate from the Anaconda Mountain Range and the Anaconda – Pintler Wilderness Area. The Upper Willow Creek originates from the John Long Mountains. There are numerous small streams flowing into Rock Creek on its journey north to its confluence with the Clarkfork of the Columbia River. In the 1980’s Rock Creek contained roughly 2,000 Rainbow Trout per mile of stream in the lower 28-miles of Rock Creek; from Gillies Bridge downstream to the mouth of Rock Creek. In the 1990’s the Rainbow Trout population in Rock Creek plummeted to just 300 Rainbow Trout per mile of stream. This drastic decline in the Rainbow Trout population was caused by Whirling Disease and by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks decision to halt the stocking of Hatchery Rainbow Trout into the East Fork of Rock Creek Reservoir. To this day there has been no significant increase in the Rock Creek Rainbow Trout population. However, the Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout population in Rock Creek has rebounded somewhat to fill the void of lost Rainbow Trout population. Also the non-native Brown Trout population is on the increase. The Rock Creek fishery consists of native Westslope Cutthroat Trout up to 24-inches in length, native Bull Trout up to 36-inches in length, native Mountain Whitefish up to 24-inches in length, non-native Brown Trout up to 26-inches in length, non-native Rainbow Trout up to 24-inches in length and non-native Brook Trout up to 14-inches in length. Important Entomology And Forage Fish on Rock Creek are: Stone Flies: 1. Skwala (Skwala parallela) March – April (Size 8-10-12-14) 2. Salmon Fly (Pteronarcys californica) May – July (Size 2-4-6-8) 3. Western Big Golden Stone (Calineuria californica) May – August (Size 4-6-8-10-12) 4. Western Medium Golden Brown Stone (Isoperla sp.) June – September (Size 4-6-8-10) 5. Little Yellow Stone (Alloperla pallidula) June – October (Size 12-14-16-18) 6. Little Olive Stone (Alloperla delicata) May – August (Size 12-14-16-18) 7. Winter Stone (Capina sp.)

Introduction Rock Creek is located 25-east of Missoula, Montana off Interstate 90. Rock Creek headwaters originate from three-Mountain Ranges. The North Fork of Rock Creek and the West Fork of Rock Creek originate from the Sapphire Mountain Range. The East Fork of Rock Creek and the Middle Fork of Rock Creek originate from the Anaconda Mountain Range and the Anaconda – Pintler Wilderness Area. The Upper Willow Creek originates from the John Long Mountains. There are numerous small streams flowing into Rock Creek on its journey north to its confluence with the Clarkfork of the Columbia River. In the 1980’s Rock Creek contained roughly 2,000 Rainbow Trout per mile of stream in the lower 28-miles of Rock Creek; from Gillies Bridge downstream to the mouth of Rock Creek. In the 1990’s the Rainbow Trout population in Rock Creek plummeted to just 300 Rainbow Trout per mile of stream. This drastic decline in the Rainbow Trout population was caused by Whirling Disease and by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks decision to halt the stocking of Hatchery Rainbow Trout into the East Fork of Rock Creek Reservoir. To this day there has been no significant increase in the Rock Creek Rainbow Trout population. However, the Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout population in Rock Creek has rebounded somewhat to fill the void of lost Rainbow Trout population. Also the non-native Brown Trout population is on the increase. The Rock Creek fishery consists of native Westslope Cutthroat Trout up to 24-inches in length, native Bull Trout up to 36-inches in length, native Mountain Whitefish up to 24-inches in length, non-native Brown Trout up to 26-inches in length, non-native Rainbow Trout up to 24-inches in length and non-native Brook Trout up to 14-inches in length.

Introduction The headwaters of the Bitterroot River originate from two-major Head Waters. The East Fork of the Bitterroot River originates from the Sapphire Mountains and Anaconda Pintler Wilderness Areas. The West Fork of the Bitterroot River originates from the Bitterroot Mountains and the Selway – Bitterroot Wilderness Areas. The West Fork of the Bitterroot River was dammed in the early 1900’s creating Painted Rocks Reservoir. Below Painted Rocks Reservoir lies the tail-water fishery section of the West Fork of the Bitterroot River, which flows downstream to its confluence with the East Fork of the Bitterroot River north of the town of Conner, Montana. The East Fork of the Bitterroot River is still a free flowing stream. The Wild Fires of “2000” burned much of the timberland in the headwaters of both drainages. During spring run-off and summer thunderstorms the East Fork of the Bitterroot River turns turbid from the ash that is washed into the river from the tributaries flowing into the river. The West Fork of the Bitterroot River however remains clear, Painted Rocks Reservoir allows the headwater run-off to settle out within the reservoir before entering the West Fork of the Bitterroot River below the dam. The East Fork of the Bitterroot River confluence with the West Fork of the Bitterroot River forms the mainsteam of the Bitterroot River, which flows northerly to its confluence with the Clarkfork River outside the city of Missoula, Montana. The Bitterroot River trout fishery has experienced depravation from mankind since the early 1900’s when Marcus Daly “The Copper King” and others commissioned the building of an extensive network of irrigation canals throughout the Bitterroot Valley. The largest canal is the Big Ditch, which runs northerly over seventy-five miles in length traversing the eastside of the Bitterroot River Valley. They built large diversion dams across the Bitterroot River and diverted most of the tributaries in the Bitterroot Valley. These diversion dams dewater the Bitterroot River severely during the summer months. Most of the Bitterroot Tributaries become dry during critical spawning periods for Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout and Bull Trout. With these depravation problems on the Bitterroot River there are still some sections of the Bitterroot River that offer good fishing for Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout and to a lesser degree Bull Trout. The Bitterroot River at time offers some excellent dry fly fishing. In March and April there are Stone Flies: Skwala Stone Flies (Skwala parallela) and Winter Stone Flies (Capina sp.), May Flies: Midges (Diptera / Chironomous), Early Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis tricaudatus), Dark Gray Quill (Ameletus connectus) and Caddies Flies: Grannom (Brachycentrus occidentalis) and Green Sedge (Ryacophila sp.). In May, June, July and August there are Stone Flies: Salmon Fly (Pteronarcys californica), Western Big Golden Stone Fly (Calineuria californica), Western Medium Golden Brown Stone Fly (Isoperla sp.), Little Yellow Stone Fly (Alloperla pallidula) and Little Olive Stone Fly (Alloperla delicata); May Flies: Midges (Diptera / Chironomous), Late Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis parvus), Little Western Blue-Winged Olive (Ephemerella margarita), Western Green Drake (Drunella grandis), Pale Morning Dun (Ephemerella inermis and Ephemerella infrequens), Small Western Green Drake (Ephemerella flavilinea), Western Leadwing (Isonychia sicca) and Dark Gray Quill (Ameletus connectus); Caddis Flies: Grannom (Brachycentrus occidentalis), Green Sedge (Ryacophila sp.), Great Gray Spotted Sedge (Arctopsyche grandis), Little Tan Short Horn Sedge (Glossosoma sp.), Ring Horn Microcaddis (Leucotrichia pictipes), Spotted Sedge (Hydropsyche sp.), Little Sister Sedge (Cheumatopsyche campyla) and Little Plain Brown Sedge (Lepidostoma pluviale). In September and October there are May Flies: Late Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis parvus), Little Western Blue-Winged Olive (Ephemerella margarita), Tiny Western Olive (Pseudocloeon edmundsi), Pale Morning Dun (Ephemerella inermis and Ephemerella infrequens), Gray Drake (Siphlonurus occidentalis), White Winged Black (Tricorythodes minutus), Caddis: Giant Orange Sedge (Dicosmoecus sp.) and Midges (Diptera / Chironomous).

Introduction Hebgen Lake is one of the most productive reservoirs on this planet. The largest tributary to Hebgen Lake is the famous Madison River. The Madison River is the world’s largest Chalkstream. The Madison River is formed by the confluence of the Firehole River and Gibbon River at Madison Junction inside Yellowstone National Park. The thousands of Thermals, Geysers and Fumerals in its headwater tributaries; the Firehole River and the Gibbon River enrich the Madison Rivers ecosystem. This enriched water flows into the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake. The entire Madison Arm contains massive weed beds and most of the Madison Arm is less than thirty-feet deep; which is perfect for prolific insect growth. Hebgen Lake elevation is 6,630-feet above sea level and is 22-miles in length. Hebgen Lake contains Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Utah Chubs and Sculpins. Hebgen Lake contains Brown Trout, which will break the current Montana State record. During a fisheries study on Hebgen Lake in the early 1990’s a Hebgen Lake Brown Trout Brood Stock was captured in a fish trap on Duck Creek, which is a tributary to Hebgen Lake. This Brown Trout weighed over 30-pounds. The Montana State record is 29-pounds and was caught in Wade Lake, Montana in 1966 by E. H. Bacon. The fisheries biologist who was conducting the fisheries study was known to fish the “Narrows” by Kirkwood using Utah Chubs, a large Cannon Ball weight bounced off the bottom in attempt to catch this state record Brown Trout. Hebgen Lake is world renowned for its “Gulper” fishing during the White Winged Black emergence (Tricorythodes minutus) and Speckled Dun emergence (Callibaetis nigritis) in July, August and September. During this time of the year one will find ten to thirty-float tubers in the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake.

Most of the Bitterroot Tributaries become dry during critical spawning periods for Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout and Bull Trout. With these depravation problems on the Bitterroot River there are still some sections of the Bitterroot River that offer good fishing for Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout and to a lesser degree Bull Trout. The Bitterroot River at time offers some excellent dry fly fishing. In March and April there are Stone Flies: Skwala Stone Flies (Skwala parallela) and Winter Stone Flies (Capina sp.), May Flies: Midges (Diptera / Chironomous), Early Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis tricaudatus), Dark Gray Quill (Ameletus connectus) and Caddies Flies: Grannom (Brachycentrus occidentalis) and Green Sedge (Ryacophila sp.).
