Soda Butte Creek - Spring Fly Box

Fish Soda Butte like you know it — because now you do.

The Soda Butte Creek Spring Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on Soda Butte from late May through June. Soda Butte runs clear faster than the Lamar, making it a solid early-season option in the northeast corner of the park. The creek's smaller size means tighter presentations and more careful wading than the larger park rivers.

This box is built around Soda Butte's spring hatch calendar — BWOs, stonefly nymphs, and early Caddis on a meadow stream that fishes best when approached with stealth. Every fly was chosen with short casts, careful wading, and precise drifts 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, stonefly nymphs, Skwala dries, Pheasant Tail nymphs, and Hare's Ear nymphs. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this creek in this season.

Pro tip from the water: The confluence of Soda Butte and the Lamar River is a well-known hot spot in spring, but don't overlook the upper stretches near Cooke City — the fish up there see even fewer anglers.

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.
