The ‘root is in full swing just like everything else in the Missoula area right now! Dropping water levels, prolific hatches and some alternating clouds and sun. Good stuff! PMDs, green drakes, hoppers and caddis have been the go to bugs on top although leggy attractor dries (PMX,Chew toys, etc.) with deep droppers have also been working well. On warm evenings, the caddis hatch/fishing has been amazing. Things are tapering off sooner on the rainy days, but the midday topwater action is about as good as it gets. If you have some cloud cover, olive buggers have been providing some fast and furious streamer action on the lower 1/3 of the river. You’re in for some VERY good fishing on the Bitterroot today and the rest of the week.

HATCHES/Flies: hoppers in the sun, PMDs, caddis, yellow sallies, green drakes

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Missoula’s best fly selection . . . by far.
