Missouri River: Conditions are also very stable due to tailwater nature and this is one of Montanas most consistent options for spring fishing. Snowpack: 95% of median Hatches: midge, blue winged olives, gray drakes Must have dry flies: midge cluster, BWO hackle stacker, purple haze Must have nymphs: tunghead zebra midge, Amex, SJ worm
There isnt nearly as much low elevation snow this year compared to last here in northwest Montana. What does that mean? It means conditions should be less influenced by warming daytime temperatures and offer more consistent fishing. Or at least thats what were always hoping anyway. Current, up to date conditions are your most important ally this time of year and Linehan Outfitting Company is happy to provide you with all the details you need.

Access
Access to the stream is very easy with a foot path running around the entire public access section. In places, cattails restrict access to the water but small paths lead to the waters edge. Remember there is no wading at Rocky Ford.
Best method
Like most spring creeks Rocky Ford can be an incredibly technical fishery. Most fish are taken using scuds and midge patterns under a strike indicator. Occasionally trout can be caught on dry flies when they turn their focus to hatching midges, blue winged olives, caddis, callibaetis, and terrestrials. Streamer fishing can also be very productive in the slower moving sections of the stream. Try fishing leech patterns and baitfish imitations for the chance to hook into some of the streams bigger fish. Streamers are most productive in the morning or evening when the sun is low.
