The Bitterroot has spiked pretty huge on the lower end. Until it stabilizes, it’s probably worth avoiding. That being said, if you approach it from the higher end (West or East Fork included), you might be able to turn something up. For nymphs, use pheasant tails, caddis pupae, scuds, small micro stones and Pat’s rubber legs. For Streamers use dark bodied buggers and sculpin patterns. You might see some bugs on top, like golden stones and green drakes, so don’t be afraid to bring those along.
