The Bitterroot has reverted back to the daily yo-yo game with flows. The average has leveled out a little bit, but this river in particular has been a tough one to pin down in the recent weeks. The upper river is a better choice than the lower. If you’re in the area, feel free to give it a shot. 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: Gary Clark Jr., Blak and Blu

Awesome blues and R&B guitarist/singer out of Austin, TX. Also a childhood friend/neighbor of mine.

 

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.
