Bitterroot Fishing Report – 10/7


TXL FLY ROD

 

“Why am I thus scared by fearful visions of the night? O Earth, dread queen, mother of dreams that flit on sable wings!”

This warm October push should amount to a trico resurgence, and this is a good thing for those of you who like fishing the tinies. 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.
