Whitefish bite is on all over the lake. Try Caroline Point, the Delta, Shelter and Cedar Island, Woods Bay Point, Elmo and the Narrows. Use Pete’s Tackle Whitefish Slayer or Zimmer Rattle D’Zastor in 3/8 to 1/2oz. Look 40-50’ down. You’ll find some Lake Trout mixed in with the Whitefish. Perch are fishing well in Big Arm, Elmo and West side of Polson Bay. Look in 15-30’ water.

Good Salmon fishing around Rexford. Try tolling with wedding rings 30-40’. If you are jigging use your Hali jigs at the same depth. Rainbows are biting in the early morning troll on Berkley Flicker Shads.

Good number of Lake Whitefish showing up. North and South end of Lake.

Pete’s Whitefish Slayers and Zimmer Rattle D’Zaster are working well. Also, the Perch in Elmo, Big Arm and Polson bay areas are showing great numbers. Lake Trout trolling is working well with flashers and Brad’s Super Baits with maple sausage inside. Try the mid-lake bar for trolling around 120’ or the Delta. Also, catching the Lake Trout mixed in with Whitefish Jigging.

Flathead River & Forks
All fishing well. Try Stimulators, Humpy and Hoppers in orange and red colors. Spinners use Panther Martins or Rooster tails. Salmon eggs work well also.

Another milestone for our three chicks. This morning at first light they all took their first flight. We are happy to see this milestone again this year.

Good numbers of Lake Whitefish on the South End around Elmo and Big Arm. The Perch action is great all over the South end of the lake: Polson Bay, Big Arm and Elmo especially excellent reports.

North End: Few Whitefish showing up on the Delta along with Lake Trout. Try jigging 50’ of water along the East side of the Delta. Trolling is doing well for Lake Trout using Brad’s Super Bait Flashers.

Starting to look good. Green water coming down and clearing up nicely. Hearing reports of nice fish hitting the San Juan Worms or small wet flies. The forks are starting to clear up as well.

South Fork – Flathead River
Above the reservoir is looking better. Still high but clearing up nicely.

This year again we have three chicks to name. We are going to use a poll again this year. Please submit your vote. Once you submit your vote you can check out the stats. We will be accepting votes until Midnight July 31st 2018.

​Flathead River
The river is starting to green up some and come down a bit. Another week or two and things should really pick up on the main stem

South Fork (Below Hungry Horse)
The water is high, but we are hearing a few decent reports on the cutts.

Hungry Horse Reservoir
Try fishing the tributary creeks for cutts. Pautzke Salmon Eggs are great. Also give small spoons in gold or hammered copper a shot. They seem to work well too
