Martinsdale Reservoir — Fishing has been slow. At Newlan Reservoir, anglers are catching a few fish mainly from the boat. — Mint Bar, Martinsdale.
Missouri River, below Holter — The water temps were 64 degrees Monday morning and temps have been reaching 67 degrees in the afternoon on the upper part of the river. On the lower section of the river, water temps are warmer. There are tricos and nymphing is good. There is some hopper action off and on. Anglers need to get on the river early and get off the water early. There has been a lot of fishing pressure on the river. — Montana Fly Goods, Helena.
Nelson Reservoir — Anglers are catching some medium-size walleyes pulling crawler harnesses. The water is going down daily because it is being drawn for irrigation. Boats can still be launched as of Monday, but that could change. Anglers are putting boats in at the state park. — Hardware Hank, Malta.
Pablo Reservoir — Anglers are using a Gary Yamamoto Senko Baby Bass in 4 to 5 inches for largemouth bass. At Kicking Horse and Ninepipe one could do the same thing. — Zimmer Bait and Tackle, Pablo.
Rock Creek (East) — Flows are 176 cfs as of Monday. We are seeing a ton of hatches with caddis, Yellow Sallies and PMDs. Throughout the day, look to throw More or Less Hoppers in peach (12), especially if there are no clouds. Flashback Pheasant Tails have been our hot nymphs. With water low and warm, the streamer bite has been absolutely on fire with Grinchs and Thin Mints. With water being so low and temps rising daily, fish early in the mornings when water temps are a little better. Dries: Pink Pookie, Headlight Caddis (14) in green, Headlight Sally (16). Nymphs: Flashback Pheasant Tail (12), BH Caddis Pupa (14). Streamers: Complex Twist Bugger-black, Crystal Flash Bugger in Black, Slump Buster-black. — East Rosebud Fly Shop, Red Lodge.
