The Bitterroot is jumping up and down around 6700cfs with poor clarity.  The main channel is not fishing that great, but back and side channels along with the mouths of tributaries have been doable options.  You’re better off heading up to Rock Creek and getting into the Salmon Flies while they’re hot, but if you’re still inclined to fish the Bitterroot, bring some extended body drakes, standard parachute adams, orange and purple chubbies, parachute BWOs, cripples, and some smaller caddis patterns for the evening. Count on tandem nymph rigs and dry dropper rigs to work best until you see some top water action. Underneath use a bigger prince nymph, black double beaded stones, flash back pheasant tails, batman nymphs, psycho princes, caddis pupae, and smaller baetis nymphs. Hanging one of these off the back of a chubbie for a dropper has been a good searching rig for mid day.
