The Bitterroot has started dropping pretty well, which is what we’d like to see if we want the fishing to pick up. Reports from the upper stretches, and from the East and West forks, are marginal. As was stated this past weekend, the Bitterroot shouldn’t be your first local option. If you do go out, 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.
