Pablo Reservoir — There is a lot of fishing pressure. Anglers are using Rooster Tails and Gary Yamamoto Senko worms in dark colors, like watermelon, baby bass and motor oil. — Zimmer Bait and Tackle, Pablo.

Rock Creek (East) — Flows were 218 cfs on Monday. So far there are no hoot howl restrictions yet, but make sure to check with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks for updates. Fishing has been good and hoppers have been steady. Dries: More or Less Hoppers, peach (12), Morrish Hopper tan (10), Hippie Stompers orange or royal (14). The streamer bite is pretty decent, look to throw Slump Busters in brown. Nymphs: Montana Prince tan (16), Hare’s Ears (14), Tungsten Zebra Midge red (18). Streamers: Complex Twist Bugger black, Slump Buster brown, Thin Mint. — East Rosebud Fly Shop, Red Lodge.

Rock Creek (West) — Water temps are staying cooler than most area rivers, but afternoons are hot. Spruce moths are out and, depending on the day, it has been good. Make sure to have a box with Andys Moth, Spruce Almightys or Yellow PMXs. Hopper-dropper is another good option if you don’t see any spruce moths out. Small Hoppers with beadhead nymph (16) like a Perdigon, Duracell, Prince or PT will work. Attractor dry flies are another good option. Tie on Royal Wulff, PMXs, Humpies, Hippie Stompers, P-Hazes and Para-Wulffs. — Grizzly Hackle Fly Shop, Missoula.
