There is nothing quite like fall fishing in northwest Montana.

The foliage is at its peak, mornings are crisp and foggy, and by midday the sun is out and the temperatures are perfect.

The Kootenai is sitting at 4,000 cfs right now, the lowest flows of the season, and that means excellent wading opportunities up and down the river.

Big bugs are still finding fish consistently. Dry fly fishing through end of October.

If a fall trip to northwest Montana has been on your mind, there's still time.

Change is in the air. The season won't last forever.

Give us a call if you want to get on the water.

Fall is fully here on the Kootenai and it's worth getting out there.

Flows have dropped to 4,000 cfs and will hold steady through end of October and into November. That's the lowest water of the season and it opens up excellent wading opportunities up and down the river.

Chilly, foggy mornings giving way to sunshine and temps in the 70s. High pressure holding through the week. Get out there and enjoy it.

Still very much a dry fly program. Size 12 chubbies, stimulators, and water walkers are all finding fish consistently right now. If they're not eating big bugs, drop down to a #16 purple or parachute Adams and you'll be good. Perdigon droppers always productive, Uke's brown bug especially.

No real need to nymph unless you want to get down into a bucket.

Streamers. Get the meat sticks out for a couple hours a day. Keep swinging. You'll get a nice one.

⚾️ Now, the Red Sox.

We went down to the dreaded Yankees in the AL Wild Card playoff. Hurts. But I'll tell you what, going from one of the worst starts in franchise history to the playoffs is something this team should be proud of. Great roster, most of them back next year. We'll be ready. Go Sox.

Full report at the link in bio.

Call anytime to talk river details or plan a trip.

Sean McAfee grew up in the Yaak Valley. He went to the one-room schoolhouse through eighth grade. He's been guiding for Linehan Outfitting since the day he turned eighteen.

Few know this country better than he does and hunts like this one are the reason why.

We always say that we hope to teach our guests something about the natural world every minute of their day. And on a deeper level, something they may not have known or ever had the chance to explore about themselves.

A bull moose like this one has a way of doing both. Give us a call to plan your hunt.

"We just finished 5 fantastic days of fishing with Tim and his incredible guides. I'm a beginner and my husband is an experienced fly fisherman. Tim, Lucas and Sean were so patient, knowledgable and fun, I loved it! The river has little to no traffic so you feel especially fortunate to be on it and all it's glory. We caught so many fish, mostly on dry flies and one big bull trout, a fighter! The fishing and the extremely delicious food prepared by the lovely and talented Joanne, made for a perfect day. Thank you Tim and Joanne for treating us so well and giving us a week we will never forget!"

Game cameras have changed the way we scout for whitetail up here in the Yaak. Here's how we use them and why we start long before the season opens.

What's your go-to game camera setup? Drop it in the comments brand, placement tips, whatever you've learned.

There’s nothing like fall fishing. Foliage, dry fly fishing, perfect temperatures, and big fish on the prowl. Dan K. and guide Clay Coffman didn’t let this one get away!

Poppy and Parker on point. CD and Tracey C. ready for the flush.

These moments in between, full of anticipation, seem to literally slow down. It’s as if time stands still. You hear the leaves flutter in the breeze, the dogs breathing in scent, and you’re mind is playing out every flight path the bird may decide to take.

In these moments I am fully aware of my presence in the natural world and it feels good.

Fresh ingredients, fresh food, and prepared with love and peace and good vibes from Joanne’s kitchen. If you come for a visit to our lodge this is what you can expect. But more importantly, you’ll get to meet this extraordinarily talented and beautiful woman. She is the essence of Linehan Outfitting.

During the fall Joanne uses the freshest and most in-season ingredients she can find. The plums from Marsha’s Cottage Garden have been perfect and exactly what is needed in this moment.

Plum torte to be served warm with Joanne’s cinnamon maple syrup ice cream at the lodge tonight.
