Lewis River - Summer Fly Box

Fish the Lewis like you know it — because now you do. The Lewis River Summer Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on the Lewis from July through August. Summer on the Lewis is about hoppers, PMDs, and fish that haven't seen many flies — a rare combination inside a national park this famous. The open meadow sections near Lewis Lake produce big grasshopper populations and the Cutthroat and browns respond accordingly. This box is built around the Lewis's summer hatch calendar — PMDs, Caddis, and an exceptional hopper and terrestrial bite through August. Every fly was chosen with fishing the open meadow sections while the summer crowds gravitate toward the northern park 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, Elk Hair Caddis, hopper patterns, Dave's Hopper, Chernobyl Ant, beetle patterns, and ant patterns. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this river in this season. Pro tip from the water: Combine the Lewis River with a drive through the South Entrance for the most scenic and least-crowded YNP fishing experience available. You'll have better fishing and fewer people than anywhere in the northern park. Whether you're making your first trip to the Lewis 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.
