Going fishing in July; Big Sky Montana; Snake River; Gallatin River?

Files under fly fishing tip | 1 Comment

I dont have a fly rod but im bout to buy one. I would rather use my spinning tackle but dont know if that would work. I dont really know what im doing there cus im from Maryland. Any fishing tips and or travel destintions would be appreciated.

I live just outside of Helena Montana. You can easily catch fish on spinners and spoons on nearly any body of water in the state. My favorites are panther martins, black furys, and there is a black thomas cyclone spoon that the fish seem to love. You want the one with the brass back, not yellow. When I find them, I’ll buy every one that the store has. As for your choices, the Gallatin is ok. The Ruby is good. The Beaverhead holds some awesome brown trout. The Missouri between Holter Lake and Craig is amazing. If you enjoy a hike, the West Fork of the Blackfoot holds some amazing cutthroats. If you are serious about the flyfishing thing, you must hit some of the small creeks around for brook trout. It’s a great way to get some practice in with your fly equipment. They aren’t very big (6-14"), but they are aggressive. It’s about like catching piranhas out of an aquarium. I’ve been known to catch upwards of 60 in a couple of hours. Just ask the local sports shop in what ever part of Montana you are in. They can point you to a good spot to catch brookies. Around here, Deep Creek, Dry Creek, Battle Creek, Crow Creek, Swamp Creek, or any of 100 others hold more brook trout than you could ever imagine.

Best fly line for roosterfish?

Files under fly fishing tip | 2 Comments

I am headed down to the East Cape of the Baja Peninsula in a little over a month to try to fly fish for some rooster fish. We’ll be inshore fishing. I picked up at 10wt rod and I’m wondering what is the best line to get (floating, sink tip, full sink).

Some times you have to see what there eating and go for it. If you like the rooster fish you may have good luck on it. I like rooster fish fly some time you have to see what there eating to fly fish and if you like to fish that is o.k too. Good luck on your fishing o.k.

i need tips on a minnasota fishing trip during the summer?

Files under fly fishing tip | 5 Comments

ok this summer i might be going on a week long fishing trip in the summer of 09 and i need help choosing some good baits spinners or top-waters live or fake if fake what color/type works best and is it best to fly fish or standard fish and if i get live bait what kind and if you have got any suggestions for a rod/reel combo or any other tips please share best answer in 1-2 days or sooner
i think that jonny will get best answer but you can still try

I’m a resident MN fisherman.

Here’s what you need to have a decent time in MN/WI:

1. Any medium-action spinning reel matched to a 6′-7′ spinning rod will be fine.

Suggestions on an inexpensive outfit:

A. Pflueger "President" reel ($59) or a Shimano Symetre (0n sale at www.cabelas.com for $59) matched to a one-piece, medium-action, Ugly Stik Lite ($40) or Shimano Convergence ($40) rod. Make sure to use either Power Pro or Berkley Fireline (4/10 "smoke" color) line.

You can catch a variety of fish with this outfit including: Walleye, Northern Pike, Bass, Bluegill, Crappie, Suckers, Trout & Lake Trout.

(However, this outfit will NOT work well fishing for Musky, large Catfish or Sturgeon. You would need a MUCH heavier, more expensive, outfit.)

Good lures to "stock up" on?

1.) JIGS- Jigs are the least expensive lure to use in MN, (and the most versatile!) Whether you use them with 3-4" soft plastic grubs, (Berkley Gulp brand), or with bait, having a variety of different colored and sized jig-heads is vital. If I were you, I’d purchase MANY in black & chartreuse colors in sizes from 1/16 OZ-1/4 OZ. (Round-ball, lite-wire hooks.) Match the color of the jig with the color of the soft plastic grub body.

2.) Rapala-type, hard-plastic, swimming baits- You just can’t beat an original Rapala at certain times of the day, (esp for Bass and Walleye). Purchase the "Shallow Shad Rap" and the "Original Floater" in Shad/Shiner colors.

You can do a LOT of fishing with just these two types of lures!

Other lures to look at? In-line spinners (Mepps), Spoons & Texas-rigged worms (Berkley Powerbait 7").

The natural forage in most MN lakes in the summer are Shad, Shiners, Fathead/Crappie Minnows, Ciscos, Bluegill & Perch, Leeches, Frogs, & Crawdads.

Most bait-shops carry a variety of bait including Shiners, Suckers, Fathead & Crappie Minnows, Worms & Nightcrawlers, and Leeches.

Suckers- A larger bait used to mainly catch larger Northern Pike & Musky.

Shiners- A medium-sized bait used to catch Walleye, Largemouth Bass/SM Bass, Northerns & Musky.

Crappie minnow- A small minnow used to catch Crappie & Bluegill or "Sunnys". (People in MN call most panfish, other than Crappie, a "Sunny".)

Fathead minnow- A medium-sized minnow used to catch Walleye, Bass & huge Crappie.

Worms (or "Red Wigglers")- Regular-sized earthworms used to catch "Sunnys" & Crappie.

Nightcrawlers- Giant earthworms mainly used to catch Walleye.

Leeches- Used to catch Walleye & Bass.

Either use a float rig to suspend these baits or use a 1/4 OZ Jig.

Best bait rigs?

#1.) Jig & Leech or Jig & Minnow/Shiner- This is one of the BEST ways to land a Walleye, Bass or Northern.

#2.) Lindy Rig with Nightcrawler- Designed as a trolling rig, this is a "killer" on Walleye.

#3.) A general Float Rig- An "all-purpose" rig that will catch most anything.

Hope this helps? Good luck!
