Out here on the Bitterroot, the Hecubas are still hanging out, and the tricos have retreated. You might still see a few here and there. Mahoganies are a great bet. The terrestrial bite is starting to fade, but it wouldn’t be the strangest thing to turn a few fish on hoppers this time of year. Nymph droppers are a sure-fire way to catch some fish. Try some streamers out too, the reports have been good. We’re looking at 70-degree weather for the next week.
