While things are picking up, the Stillwater River is still pretty cold for consistently good fishing. The Stillwater River is low, but trout are moving into the deeper slots, and nymphing has been productive. This is a colder river compared to many other Montana rivers, so we typically don't spend much time on the Stillwater until after runoff.
The Month Ahead:
Fishing will be getting better and better as daytime highs and water temps gradually warm.
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
The Stillwater River is a relatively cold river and isn’t as productive as some other fisheries in the region until after runoff.
