Beat the Heat and Dodge the Smoke: How to Fish the Stillwater River This Week
This week, fish the Stillwater River near Absarokee early for the best results. Key times include 6-9 AM for midge and caddis hatches, 9 AM-noon for terrestrial flies, followed by a midday break. Evening fishing resumes at dusk with hoppers and BWO hatches. Use various flies for success, but avoid the heat.
