Slough Creek - Fall Fly Box

Fish Slough Creek like you know it — because now you do. The Slough Creek Fall Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on Slough Creek from September through October. Fall on Slough Creek means fewer hikers, larger fish, and Cutthroat that become progressively less selective as the water cools. The deep pool at the bottom of the Second Meadow holds the biggest fish in the system in October. This box is built around Slough Creek's fall hatch calendar — BWOs, late hoppers into early September, and streamers for the aggressive autumn fish. Every fly was chosen with BWO dry fly fishing in the afternoons and streamer fishing through the deeper pools in overcast conditions in mind, giving you exactly what you need to match what the fish are eating at this time of year. What's in the box: 36 flies total — 18 unique patterns, 2 of each — covering BWO dries, articulated streamers, Sculpin patterns, hopper patterns, Elk Hair Caddis, and RS2 nymphs. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this creek in this season. Pro tip from the water: The first hard frost clears out almost all hikers and anglers from Slough Creek. That's your window — fish the Second Meadow after the first October freeze for the least pressure and the best fishing of the season. Whether you're making your first trip to Slough Creek or you fish it every season, this box gives you a proven starting lineup so you can spend more time fishing and less time digging through bins at the fly shop. Includes a quality waterproof fly box. All flies are hand-tied to Bozeman FlyWorks standards — the same quality we'd put on our own lines.
