Current Conditions:
The Stillwater River is low but trout are moving into the deeper slots and nymphing has been productive. This is a colder river and once the temperatures drop a bit more the big ice shelves will form, but the warmer weather has kept many of the ice shelves and slush from forming.
The Month Ahead:
Fishing will be tough for most of the winter if it gets full with ice shelves and slush.
Long Term Fishing Forecast:
The Stillwater is a relatively cold river and isn’t as productive as some other fisheries in the region in the winter months. April will result in better results but we wouldn’t recommend a long drive to get there until later in the spring when water temps produce more active fish.
