Soda Butte Creek - Summer Fly Box

Fish Soda Butte like you know it — because now you do. The Soda Butte Creek Summer Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on Soda Butte from July through August. Summer on Soda Butte is dry fly paradise — PMDs and Gray and Green Drakes come off with regularity, and from late July through September the hopper fishing is as good as anywhere in the park. The creek runs through open meadows that produce big grasshopper populations. This box is built around Soda Butte's summer hatch calendar — PMDs, Gray and Green Drakes, and hoppers on a meadow stream with undercut banks. Every fly was chosen with slapping hopper patterns against the banks and matching the afternoon Drake hatches 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 PMD dries, Green and Gray Drake patterns, hopper patterns, Elk Hair Caddis, beetle patterns, and ant patterns. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this creek in this season. Pro tip from the water: Slap a hopper against the undercut banks and watch the Cutthroat come out swinging. Soda Butte Cutthroat are not subtle about hopper takes — they commit hard. Whether you're making your first trip to Soda Butte 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.
