Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Stillwater flyfishing in Mt.

Best stillwater fishery in Montana for flyfishing? Especially chironomid fishing.

Is there even a season for chironomids?

Are the lakes on the Blackfeet Rez near Glacier NP still highly rated at iceout?

Near as I know they are. But for ice out lakes to fly fish I like Canyon Ferry and my all time fav Hebgen.

Clark Canyon has some nice fish.

Yes it does, I've never fly fished it during ice off at spring have you? And if so, what side seems to work the best?

Thanks all. I think it's intersting that so many of we lonnies flyfsh too. There must be a connection somewhere. Maybe we're all excessive compulsive.

Nope, never that early. I hear they get them casting steamers off shore as the hungery fish cruise the shore line looking for a meal.

One of my favorite lakes to hike to and flyfish was Elizabeth Lake in Glacier NP. Great scenery and grayling.

For grayling I like Hyalite and the Big Hole, I've caught mine on dry's.

I like Hegben. Fishes well in June.There are some smaller lakes in the area that fish well with Chronies. Quake Lake is a sleeper near the Madison.

The lakes up on the Black Foot ( of Feet) Rez are great for big fish. I usually use leeches but some good hatches there too. Check out Mission Lake up there.

Georgetown is another great stillwater fishery. Especially if you like big brookies. The East side of the lake opens up July 1, and it is always a blast...18-22 inchers being the norm for those with skilz...
