CURRENT REPORT
A Drought Closure (fishing prohibited 24 hours) is in effect for the North Fork Blackfoot River from USFS boundary downstream to Highway 200 starting September 10.
Awfully cold up the Blackfoot right now. Shelf ice starting collect in the shallow insdes. Winter fishing on the Blackfoot certainly can have its moments. Nymph and streamer fishing is the name of the game. Staples like stonefly nymphs, worms, and small mayfly and midge nymphs will find fish in slow, deep walking-speed water. The best fishing will be during the warmest parts of the day: 11am-dark.
Dead-drifting and swinging streamers won't produce a ton of fish, but can also be good for a biggun' this time of year. Think heavy, natural colored streamers. We like the Sparkle Minnow, Foxy Cleopatra, Mini Dungeons and Sparkle Yummies.
Looking Forward
Keep an eye on the forecast if you're looking to fish the Blackfoot this winter. It can often lock-up with ice, making fishing and access slim at best. Now is a great time to hit the vise in anticipation of spring!
