The Bitterroot has hit its rain-induced peak, and has started to come down. It’s still going to be tough fishing, as it has been for the last couple weeks. The West Fork is fishing reasonably well, but it’s ripping still. The Bitterroot shouldn’t be your first local option. 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.

Weekend Fishing Tunes: Ben Folds Five, The Sound of The Life of The Mind

HATCHES/Flies: Golden Stones, and other attractor patterns, extended bodies and cripples for the green drakes/March browns. Dark, heavy nymphs for subsurface. JJ’s specials, articulated streamers, bead-head woolly buggers.
