Hot Topics, Big Fish & What’s Next for Montana’s Outdoors

This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale takes over the podcast studios and gets us all caught up on the latest outdoor news, Statewide fishing reports and peek at the future topics he will be covering on upcoming podcasts. He thought it would be nice to let the rest of the podcast staff take the 4th of July weekend off, but we are thinking that maybe he just didn't  get invited to any 4th of July parties. However, that is probably not that case as we all have never seen him wait to be invited when he smells food or beer. But seriously be sure and join Dowrigger on this weeks podcast so you can get caught up on the latest news concerning the Makoshika State Park fire, news of a bit of a brouhaha between the BLM and the Montana FWP, a report that indicates the water is flowing on the Milk River Project but how far, and the list goes on. Plus, Rigger has some great fishing reports for rivers, lakes and reservoirs across the state! So, sit back, crack open a cold one and let your old buddy Downrigger Dale keep you up to date on everything outdoors in Montana. In fact, rumor has it that Rigger is planning on something to do with the Flathead Monster and Bigfoot!! Actually, you may want to pop some corn for this one!! So, mash that play button and see what it's all about here on the Montana Outdoor Podcast!

Dale Moore: 1:13

Thank you very much, Manny, and welcome, welcome to this special 4th of July episode. First off, I wanna send heartfelt thanks to, um, all of you active military members tuning in, and of course to all you veterans out there. Thank you for your service and for helping preserve the incredible freedoms that, uh, of course so many of us are celebrating this weekend. 4th of July weekend. Hard to believe in it. Now, before we dive into today's episode, quick reminder, if you're enjoying the show, do me a favor Subscribe on our YouTube channel or wherever you get your podcasts, you'll find links in the, uh, podcast description for more info on everything that we talk about today, like we usually do. So this week is gonna be a little different. No guess no, uh, campfire, singalongs or anything like that. Just me and you. Now, why is that? Well, most of our podcast crew and regular guests are taking well-earned breathers with their family and friends, and I hope you are too, but we're not leaving you hanging gang because a lot is happening in Montana's outdoors. So today we're digging into the latest outdoor news fishing reports from around the state, and we'll give you a sneak. Peak at some really fun episodes we've got coming up, actually, maybe even kind of some weird ones. You know, you'll get the point when I get to there. So let's get started. We're gonna start first with some news. We, uh, start in eastern Montana. Mashika. I always have a h tough time with that name. Do you guys, uh, Mashika State Park in Dawson County was hit hard this week by a wildfire. Some rain helped slow it down, but the yurt and at least one restroom was lost and much of the park remains closed. That's really a shame, isn't it? But anyway, the, the visitor center is still open. So if you're in the area, swing by, uh, for some local info, uh, for updates, you can check the FWP Region Seven's Facebook page, and they've been updating that on a pretty, pretty regular basis. Checking the Yellowstone River. Frustrations are building on the Yellowstone a long time. Access point near Twin Bridges has been barricaded by BNSF railway. This spot has been the go-to for floating fishing and even agate hunting for years. Montana Department of Transportation and Fish and Wildlife, and Parks are. In negotiations to reopen it. But you'll hear dealing with the railroad easements isn't exactly a walk in the park. we'll be keeping an eye on that for you as well. Hey, the Milk River Project is flowing again. now if you recall, I did a, um, podcast about the Milk River Project and when I had Jennifer Patrick on earlier this, um, I. Well, it was a what about a month or so ago? She talked all about it and, said that things would get flowing here soon. And thank goodness that they actually are, it's hard to believe that it's really been about a year, actually less than a year, and they've got water flowing. That took years to build. Now think about that. And they basically rebuilt the thing. and if, if you're not sure what I'm talking about, I'm gonna put a link to that podcast with Jennifer Patrick, uh, she's with the Milk River Project and you can watch that. Listen to that podcast rather that is just. Fascinating how that had been around since, I think it was conceived about 1905. I think they finished it in 1915. Something like that from, if my memory serves me right and. Amazing how they put that together. What happened is the siphon, this is what moves the water, uh, across the St. Mary's River and gets it into the milk. Then it flows up through Canada and actually then comes back down into Montana over in Eastern Montana. I mean, basically what we're talking about folks is moving water across the divide. It just amazing that they did that so many years ago. And then to have the whole thing blow out when that siphon failed, it blew like a, what was it? About 50 foot deep, huge. And I'm talking huge hole wide in the, um, in the ground. And to take and repair all that, plus several other. Areas of it. I mean, this is, we're talking miles and miles of this aqueduct folks. It's just amazing what they able to do. All uh, Montana companies come into the rescue and in about a year they've, they've got water flowing. So that is exciting. Uh, now that water is last I heard it was, uh, had flown in, was flowing in across the, uh, US Canadian border. And, uh, it should be, I would say, in fact, even by now, I would say it's probably got to the, uh, Montana border and flowing back into Montana over there in eastern Montana. So I. Kudos to them. So that should start to stabilize that, and it should get some, uh, hopefully some more irrigation water, things like that going. Now let's talk about hunting regulations. Of course, this is the time of year that they start setting some new regs, and that FWP is gathering input right now on next season's hunting regulations. Now, if you care about Montana's Wildlife Management. And I know you do. All of us do that are into all this. And the outdoors. Now is the time to get your voice heard. You can uh, find a link in the podcast description and you can fill out a survey they have been doing, you know, live. Interactions with the folks all around the state. A lot of you have emailed me in that and said, Hey, I, I don't have time to go to those, but I still wanna get my input on some of these regulation changes. That's where you can go to the link that I'm gonna put in a podcast description and just, fill it all out and put in all your recommendations, all your thoughts in that, because that is vital. And now this survey isn't gonna be able to give you to go on and on, but it, it. We'll ask you a bunch of questions in that, so make sure you do it because that has a huge influence on what, Montana FWP puts together to present to the Fish and Wildlife Commission and those recommendations, all that go with that. So the commissioner c. All these different inputs and that goes a long way with how they are gonna decide how all this gets done. A lot of times I think folks, uh, think, well, the FWP decides all this. No, their main job is to gather a bunch of information, uh, from all of us, but also from biologists and people out in the field and all that too, that work with the FWP, but it's the Fish and Wildlife Commission that ends up deciding, a whole bunch of this stuff. Again, get those, Surveys in to the FWP. Okay, now let's talk about some Huda restrictions I am imagining that we probably have other hoo da restrictions going as I'm talking about it, uh, right now. Uh, in effect in parts of the Madison, Jefferson and Sun Rivers, we have some al restrictions. If you're new to, that term, it means no fishing from 2:00 PM to midnight. These rules protect, uh, fish during warm summer temperatures. If you're practicing catch and release. Remember, net fast, handle the fish, wet, keep'em in the water, revive before you get'em released. I have a, uh, croppy comeback at the Tongue River Reservoir story for you. Yeah. The, the Croppy population at the Tongue River Reservoir has taken a hit in recent years. A lot of you that fish that know about that, but there's hope. Still out there. FWP is stocking young of the year. Croppy from, uh, the hatchery effort this fall. Now that is from the, uh, hatchery there in Miles City. Fingers crossed that we get a rebound for that great croppy population. I really hope that makes a comeback. Talking about a, uh, black bear study in the little belts researchers are collecting genetic data and collaring bears to better understand black bear populations in central Montana. Orange signs are gonna be posted around, uh. Hair corral, uh, and trapping sites. So be aware if you're hiking in the area and yes, carry bear spray. Now, when you hear me say, bear corral, what? What the heck is that down rigger? And what are you talking about there? You may have seen these in the woods, and unfortunately some people go, well, this looks dumb. And they, they cut'em down. Don't do that. What they do is they put up these kind of barbed wire. Corrals and they put'em in areas where they know the bears are, are going back and forth. What it doesn't hurt the bears, but when they walk under it, it just pulls some of that hair off of them. And what that allows research to do is nowadays, of course, you know, with DNA and all that, they can get all kinds of information off the hair. And so this is going to go along with the studies. And of course, as I said, they will be trapping black bears too. So do look out for those signs if you come across them. Go around don't, go through the areas and, uh, since they will be doing some things to attract the Bears best to stay away from that area and let's let'em do that research and see what's going on with the Black Bear. So we have some good seasons for Black Bear up in the area. Now we do have a new speaking of FWP Commission. We do have a new FWP Commissioner in Region one E Ian Wargo. He's of ca, he's from Kalispell, is the new commissioner for Northwest Montana. He's served on several advisory councils and brings, uh, an engineering background to the role. there's a link in the, podcast description. If you wanna get more information and know him better. Here's a picture of him right there. You see him? Welcome, Ian, and, so glad that you're a part of that and hope you make some good decisions, but learning more about Ian and, we, we do love our commissioners. that is a volunteer deal, and it does take'em a lot of time, so just say thank you when you see some of them. Now, if you, if you or someone, needs some hunter education certification, a lot of you have kids out there, uh, or grandkids and you're saying, yeah, I guess it is time, isn't it? You know, often we get in this hot weather, 4th of July, we're having fun and we forget. Yeah. Hunting season is not gonna be that far away. What I always hate to hear about is when the youngins are ready to. Get out and start hunting and they go, oh heck, we haven't got our, our, um, hunter's Zed certificate, and especially for the very young ones that do not qualify for the online test, and all of them are full. Then they miss out and they can't hunt that year. So I've got a link down there in the podcast description. Go to that link and that will show you. In fact, it's real simple. It'll allow you to put in where you're at, and then it will show you all the available hunters that classes in your area get on that right away. Remember those of you that are taking the online test. Make sure that you remember, you do have to take the in-person field day test. Those fill up quick and you can't get your certification unless you complete that too. And remember, you can't do one or the other. You have to do both the online. And the, uh, in-person field day test, and you have to do the online part first. So remember that online, of course, that's easy. You can do that at your leisure. However, you, uh, are gonna have to take that field day test in those. Get full, especially a lot of people put that off and put that off. So just don't forget that and get involved. If you have the young ones that are around 10 years old and qualify for the apprentice program, I'll have links to all that so you can learn more about it. But let's get'em out, get'em hunting. Don't miss out on that. Now let's get into some statewide phishing reports. but first I wanna take a quick little break here. And talk about my friends from. Superior Hardwoods of Montana. You've heard me talk about these folks a lot. we wouldn't have a podcast if it wasn't for them and our other sponsor, uh, Rocky Mountain Truck and Trailer. But folks, I mean, what I say when I'm talking about these guys, they do amazing things with wood, especially the, thing that I, I just. And fascinated by that company is they're, reclaimed wood, and I'm talking, these are from grain reefs, from old factories, from homestead cabins, corrals, amazing wood. And what they do with it allows you to put something, just listen to this.

Downrigger Dale: 15:36

You know, they say they don't make'em like they used to, but at Superior Hardwoods of Montana, that's kind of the whole point. This isn't just a lumber yard. We're talking about 11 acres of reclaimed wood wall paneling, flooring, trim beans, slabs, you name it, every single piece has a story behind it. Old Barnes, historic homesteads, long forgotten factories. this. wood has been places, and now it can be part of your story too.

Dale Moore: 17:52

We are back here on the Montana Outdoor Podcast. Thanks so much for being with us. Thank you. Superior Hardwoods of Montana for all you do. let's get, uh, to what most of you really wanna hear about Of course. And that's our fishing reports. And, let me tell you, there's some exciting stuff happening on Montana's rivers and reservoirs. Right now. We're gonna take a quick peek at the Yellowstone River. Despite runoff, uh, wrapping up early this year, the Yellowstone is fishing incredibly well. Salmon flies are pushing up into the park, but golden stones and yellow Sallys are hot below Livingston. If you're heading out, try a uh, chubby Chernobyl with a brown rubber leg dropper. Put about three feet below. That combo is producing big time from what the folks down in that area have been telling me about. Do have some fishing, of course, in Yellowstone National Park, Fantastic conditions in Lamar, soda Butte and Slew Creek. Right now, avoid The Madison stretch that is just too warm right now. Watch for gray Drake, salmon flies and uh, terrestrials like beetles. Oh, and don't forget your bear spray in that area for sure. Gang, do not forget that. You're not in the mall out there for sure. And I don't want you to be malled. Now Upper Madison is dryly heaven right now, or Lower. Madison is still fishing pretty well with Cass and a few, uh, lingering salmon flies. Uh, let's see, what, what would be some good recommendations? Uh, take a look here. Oh pair a chubby with a number 14 bead head nymph or a 16 PMD. Yeah. Here, and that's working really well. Check the Gallatin River. Great flows and aggressive fish. That's a good combo. Run a uh, paragon dropper under a chubby. Now be ready for quick strikes in that fast water. So no drifting off there. Checking Fort Peck Reservoir. Here's a name you, uh, will recognize if you're a regular podcast listener. Don Wilkins, uh, files a great report here while I are hitting on weed lines, using slow death rigs and crawlers, northerns, shallow, spoons and cranks of the ticket there. Lakers are deep, 95 to a hundred and feet deep. And guess what? Gang? He's been catching a few of those king salmon already. They're biting between 60 and 90 feet. He says, flasher and fly rigs seem to be his, go-to so far. Now, if you want a shot at Fort Pecks big boys out there, give Don Wilkins a call, but do not wait. He books up fast. I'll put his contact information and a link to his stuff. in the, uh, podcast description. Now let's, uh, take a quick look at the Helena Area Reservoir, shall we? Starting off with Canyon Ferry walleye and rainbows are biting between pond one and Goose Bay. Use crank baits or spinners with worms. Taking a look at Hauser, good walleye and rainbow action there. Early mornings are key. Holter walleye are hanging around weed beds. Fire tiger Jigs are working really good from what I hear from the boys and gals down that way. Rainbows are strong throughout the, um, Holter area, especially with slip bobbers and crawlers near the surface in the morning. now if you want more phishing reports. Those are just a few. Go to Montana outdoor.com. I'm gonna put a link to that. In that link, it will take you to our audio reports. And there you can get reports all statewide. Those get updated all the time, gang. Check that out. That is a great resource. And what I love about that, I use it a lot myself. When you're out driving, you can be listening to those reports as you're driving along. So cool there. in our next segment coming up, I'm gonna be looking for some ideas for upcoming shows, but I've got a few planned that I think you're really gonna like first though. take a look at what my friends at Rocky Mountain Truck and Trailer are up to. They're up to some great stuff. They always are. Most of us here in Montana, we're always needing trailers. We're For example, the damn lights to work on our trailers. Are you like me? I don't know what the hell I do to mine, I really don't. I can't get'em to work. And then when I get everything working all right for some reason. They're not working. Anyway, Rocky Mountain Truck and Trailer will get'em working. I finally quit trying to do it myself. I took'em out to there ever since they did mine, never had had a problem work every time, all the time. Simple things like that, but oh, they do so much more. Especially if you got some acreage out there and you wanna get a little work. Listen to this.

Downrigger Dale: 23:04

Dale Moore: 25:31

We are back here on the Montana Outdoor Podcast. Hey, thanks so much for coming along here on this abbreviated version of the Montana Outdoor Podcast. As all of the folks that helped me do this podcast are out taking 4th of July weekend off. And. Deservedly so I'm kind of doing this on my own flying solo, and I appreciate all of you coming along with me. I hope that, you've enjoyed some of these news stories and phishing reports and all that, if you like that. I, I was thinking I might do some of these kind of episodes now, and then just to bring you up to date, get you caught up on the latest news and that, let me know down rigger at Montana Outdoor. Dot com. That's down rigor@montanaoutdoor.com. Shoot me an email, let me know if you like this idea, if you like it, but you'd rather somebody else does it or something like that I was think of. That might be kind of an interesting thing to do. But anyway, so speaking of things coming up on the Montana Outdoor Podcast, we've got some fun and well, maybe if you. Quirky topics coming up. Uh, we're doing a Strangest Fish in Montana episode, if you will. Have you ever caught some odd snap a picture, email it to me. And we'll try to, ID it for you and share the story. But what we've got coming up is a show with two of the top biologists. These are wildlife biologists. One, covers the critters on the ground. The other, the ones that swim around in Montana, streams and rivers, they, um, are out of the University of Montana. These are two really smart folks, And so what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk about Montana's rarest species, both on land and water. Uh, we're gonna touch on. A lot of the, the normal things, if you have questions you would like me to ask them of, Hey, what is it with this thing, or, or that, uh, we're gonna talk about things like, populations Sport fish that most people target. A lot of the big game that we all like to hunt. And I'm gonna go over with them what they're seeing, what they're hearing. They do a lot of studies and stuff for Montana and all over the place. But then I'm also gonna get into maybe asking them I, get these emails and stuff from people and some blurry pictures, we've heard of the Flathead monster out there in Flathead Lake. People have been citing this thing since the sixties. I'm gonna ask'em about that, what they think the possibilities are, and maybe even talk a little bit about Bigfoot. No promises there, but you know, I. We're gonna do that too. the other program we've got coming up is with, Katie Vivian. She is the FWP biologist in charge of Tiber Reservoir. Now we've been wanting to get her on and she's gonna join us soon. And why? Did you guys see a Montana outdoor.com? The walleye tournament weights from the Tiber Tournament. I'm sure you've heard about it by now. It, it's, it's crazy. I'm gonna leave a link to that story on Montana outdoor.com if I'm not mistaken. I think these are the biggest walleye tournament weights in the United States. If not, they gotta be pretty dang close. Now, why did Tiber. All of a sudden start producing these huge walleye. Now, before you send me an email. Yes. I know At one time Tyer was the home of the state, record walleye, and that record was held for a while. Now it's kind of moved around. Of course, Trevor Johnson caught that monster over in Helena. But I'm telling you, I think we're gonna see the next. State record walleye come outta Tyre and I don't know what's going on there, but Katie does a lot of, uh, netting surveys, a lot of stuff. Of course, it is kind of like a miniature Fort Peck in a lot of ways. They have the Cisco in there, which if you remember I did a podcast called, uh, bacon Double Cheeseburger Fish. And there's all about the Cisco. They have Cisco in Tiber, but this is kind of exciting. I mean they produced and not just the winners of the tournament. It's like, I think the top five to eight places in the tournament all had huge weights. I. Read that story I've got down in the podcast description and then keep your eye, uh, open and your ears open for that podcast, which will be coming soon. As soon as Katie gets, back and gets settled in, I. We're gonna have her on. That's gonna be a really interesting podcast and find out what's going on there. Also, we're gonna have some as we're get closer on, in through the summer and into, um, fall, some of the top hunting guides around the state of Montana are gonna be on. We're gonna talk to them also. Do you remember when I did that podcast? Well, I've done it two years in a row now, and, we talk about how during the rut is kind of like a singles bar for elk. And I won't spoil it all, but the fellow I have on for that, he's coming back again this year. It is probably the top elk caller in the world. Every time we do this podcast with him and he always says new ideas, new things to share. the place just goes nuts. In fact, we've had to rerun it a few times'cause it dang near blew up our, our website. People just love it and you get great information. He's a great teacher too. So I want you to, check that out and be watching for that. Also, uh, as I said, I want your ideas of. Topics you think I ought to be working on. So be sure and do that. Also, share your, pictures with us. We always love those. We post'em on Montana outdoor.com. People love those. you know, you catch a weird fish. If anything like that, want us to name it, whatever you wanna name it or you want me to find out what the heck it is, send it to me down rigger at. Montana outdoor.com. Manny will give you that address email address again, or if you just go to the podcast description, it makes it super easy. You can just click and it actually opens up your email browser and, boom, you just send me an email that way. And then on our audio. Podcast. There is a way that you can click on that. You'll see it there, send us a message and you can send me a text. I don't get your, phone number or anything, so don't worry. I don't get that. I don't sell anything. We don't do that kind of stuff here, but, that's kind of handy too, and a lot of people like to use that. For now, folks. I guess that's it. I hope you liked our little brief 4th of July, uh, roundup special with the latest news and some phishing reports and all that. Uh, I hope you're getting out, uh, this weekend and I hope you're gonna be safe. I. Be careful out there. I'll see you next time on the Montana Outdoor Podcast.
