Bitterroot Fishing Report – 5/6


S-quig-rc-5

Beginning in April, once a week we will post a brief description of a rig we saw during the previous week that had one of our Kingfisher stickers on the window. When you recognize it as being your car described in our hatch report, stop into the shop and pick out 2 dozen nymphs or dries on us!!

The Bitterroot is a mess you don’t want to deal with right now. The flow is a little over 10,000 cfs above town and spewing mud.  With the colder weather on tap for this week, it’s a possibility that the Bitterroot could come back into shape before it blows out again.  At this point it’s all weather dependent but still a possibility.  If you are really itching to get out, the lakes and ponds in our area have been fishing very well between the rain storms.

If you own and iPad 1 or 2, we have 6 MFC original iPad covers to give away. The first people through the door get’em!!! If you come in with a kingfisher tattoo on your forehead you can have two!!!

 

Browns Lake is iced off, open and fishing well. However, the private land owners surrounding Browns Lake are now enforcing there NO trespass rights. All the bank fishing with the exception of the public land at the south and east sides of the lake is now closed to walking. We have provided a map showing the property lines and places to legally access the lake. The boundaries highlighted with green are open to the public.
