Hello Everyone! Hans here with the Sturtevants weekly fishing report for Sun Valley, Silver Creek, The Big Wood River, The Big Lost, and surrounding waters. Muddy waters still running below Warm Springs Creek, but those who fish this water regardless have been finding success. Expect this off-color to stick around, but hopefully start to clear up enough to draw fishermen … Read More
Fishing Report – August 14, 2014
Hello Everyone! Hans here with the Sturtevants weekly fishing report. Heavy rains have blown ash and mud from the Beaver Creek fire into Warm Springs and Baker Creeks and subsequently muddied the majority of the Big Wood. Keep checking the water clarity, once you can see a foot or two the fishing should pick up dramatically. Free casting clinics are … Read More

Hello Everyone! Hans here with the Sturtevants weekly fishing report. Due to a combination of low water, low dissolved oxygen levels, and high temperatures Silver Creek Preserve will be closed from 10PM to 10AM until conditions improve. Think of this not as losing water, but rather a reason to explore. It would take a lifetime to fish all the water … Read More
Fly-Fishing Report- July 8th.
This week it seems everything in the Valley is Hot, fishing included. There is no better way to escape the heat then standing knee deep in the Big Wood with a fly rod. In the midday heat ditch the waders and pick up a pair of Simms Neoprene Wading Socks. Fishing in the valley is as good as it gets. … Read More

Its fall on Silver Creek, which means two things; one, that it’s going to be beautiful down there, and two; that the fishing’s going to be great all day.

With the brown trout starting to … Read More
Fishing Report – August 28, 2013
Large portions of the Big Wood may re-open this week, and if that happens, fisherman will find the water very low and clear. Low and clear doesn’t mean un-fish able, in fact, it can mean really concentrated fish. However they’ll be spooky and tougher than normal to fool. Try a long, light leader, smaller fly, and a cautious approach. Even … Read More

The Big Wood’s precipitous fall in flows has evened out, and the river is at an amazing level for fishing – enough water to have nice fish-holding seams and riffles, and deep, green pools. There’s a fair number of early morning Trico’s on the ‘Wood, though the fish are as likely to eat a size 14 or 16 Pink Albert … Read More
Fishing Report August 6th – By Paddy McIlvoy
The Trico-swarm madness continues on Silver Creek. If you’ve never seen a hatch so dense you can hear the insect’s wings, this is your chance. Right now, the majority of the hatch is centered on the Silver Creek Preserve, with variable to weak hatches on the Double R Ranch, and the downstream stretches of the creek. There are … Read More

The weather may be cooling down a bit, but the fishing is staying hot! Dawn is bringing out huge clouds of tricos on silver creek from point of rocks, all the way to the top of the preserve, with a good mix of pmd’s and baetis thrown in. Stay out into the afternoon for damsel-flies and hoppers. There’s still great … Read More
