The flows on the Bitterroot today are hanging around 1800 cfs here in town, and the clarity is still pretty decent spite the bump in flows.  The best dry fly fishing has been rocking around 1pm so be ready with your Skwalas and March Browns.  As far as what the fish have been keying in on has been wishy-washy, so be ready to swap out flies until you figure out what is working.  A dry dropper rig has been the best bet in the morning with a low riding skwala and a size 16 pheasant tail about 18 inches behind.  The streamer bite has also been noteworthy with black and olive sculpin styled streamers fishing best.  Most of the big fish have been hanging out tight to the banks or in the back channels.

HATCHES/Flies: Midges, skwalas, march browns, baetis For more information visit Simm’s webpage
