Guided Fishing – River’s Edge Spring Special!

Got a case of spring fever?  Hang on your Gore-Tex wader pants, because we’ve got a sweet deal for you.  From now until April 15th, we’re offering a full-day of guided fishing for just $300.00.  This is not only a smokin’ deal, but also a great chance to get in on some of the area’s finest pre-runoff fishing.  Now through April, the nymph fishing is always on and even stripping streamers can produce some really nice trout.  However, most anglers get excited for the opportunity for some fantastic dry fly fishing with midge and/or baetis hatches occurring like clock-work.  As temperatures become milder in the spring, the fish get hungry and the bite really turns on!

What does the Spring Special include?  Transportation to-and-from river, flies, full-day guided fishing and lunch.  If you don’t have your own rod, waders or boots, we can provide those items as well.  Your Montana fishing license is not included.  You can buy those online at www.fwp.mt.gov or at our shop.  **Please note that these Spring Special Trips must be taken by April 15th with no exceptions.

What rivers will I fish?  Unless you have a specific request, it is your guide’s choice based on current fishing conditions.  Our Spring Special includes fishing on the Yellowstone, Gallatin, Lower Madison, or Jefferson rivers.  If fishing one of our local spring creeks is on your list, just add the applicable rod fees to the special $300.00 price. *This special excludes the Upper Madison, Missouri or Big Hole rivers.

What should I bring?  Our spring weather can offer any and every condition, but don’t let that scare you off. Some of the worst spring days produce some of the best fishing.  You’ll simply want to bring everything from a lot of layering, warm gloves and a rain jacket to sun hat, sunscreen, and good sunglasses.  Having the right gear with make your spring fishing that much more comfortable and fun!

If you have more questions or are ready to book your spring fishing trip with us (you know you want to!), give us a call or send an e-mail today!    Phone: (406) 586-5373        Email:mailto:info@theriversedge.com

A January Day on DePuy’s Spring Creek

Typically I don’t fish the spring creeks of Paradise Valley during the months of November, December, January and February.  Experience has taught me that the creeks just don’t fish that well during these months and philosophically I think the fish deserve a little break from us fishermen.  And, as I have gotten older, I have found that my body just doesn’t tolerate the weather conditions that accompany winter fishing.  Freezing temperatures, wind, snow and sleet just don’t add up to a good time anymore.  I know that my attitude towards winter fishing conditions will disappoint my old friend Fred Nelson who likes to boldly proclaim that if one is not cold, wet, sweaty, complaining about too much wind, or the fact that there is no wind at all, that it is too cloudy, or just too hot and bright, you are just not fishing.

 

 However, this past week I had a change of heart about winter fishing and visiting the spring creeks during, according to the calendar, the dead of winter.  As many of you know, and for those of you who don’t, we have been experiencing a very mild winter.  Not much snow, especially in the valleys, and warmer than normal day/night temperatures.  Last week with day time highs predicted to be in the high 40’s I decided to through caution to the wind and spring for the forty bucks it costs to fish the spring creeks at this time of year.  Well, if I only considered those days that I caught a bushel of fish a successful day of fishing, I would have to report that my day was a total bust.  However, at this point in my fishing life, I count any day that I can get on the water a successful one.  The day was clear and bright, the temperature did indeed get into the very high 40’s, there was little wind, there was no one else on the creek that day and I got to visit with my old friend of some thirty years Betty Smith.  As for the catching of fish, the closest thing I came to a fish that day was a couple of cookies baked by my wife and painted to look like little rainbow trout.
