Montana Spring Skwala Hatch…The Countdown is ON

Less than one month from now, we’ll be on the water throwing a dry fly, looking for that first big trout nose of 2026. The Bitterroot River Skwala Hatch is right around the corner, and it’s one of our most favorite times of year to be on the water. During March and April, we’ll see some of our best days. We’ll see days where we catch some of our highest fish counts of the year, we’ll see snow squalls, sunshine, and some of the biggest brown trout of the year. 

Air temps and water flows will fluctuate up and down, and your Missoula Montana Fly Fishing Guide will adjust daily to the conditions. It’s by far the most fun and dynamic time of year for Montana Guiding Company Guides. It’s the time of year we live for. 

If you haven’t booked your Missoula Montana Fly Fishing Trip yet, call us today. We still have primetime slots available in March and April with our best guides. This is the time of year you don’t want to miss!

Our 2026 calendar is shaping up fast! Book your Missoula Montana Fly Fishing Guide today with Montana Guiding Company. We look forward to having you out on the water!

We’ll see you on the water,
