The Bitterroot has been fishing extremely well with the weather we’ve been having.  The rain has really made a difference with the fires and the drop in temps has gotten the fish and bugs into fall mode.  We’re seeing lots of Hecubas, BWOs, PMDs, and Mahoganies.  Expect to see them in the mornings for sure but if the cloud cover holds up, they’ll be an all day affair.  For the afternoon, Hopper dropper rigs and other terrestrials will be the ticket.  Drop a copper john, hares ear, pheasant tail, or batman behind for a good dropper.  It’s streamer time too folks, Grab some mouth washes, flash fries, sparkle minnows, sparkle buggers, standard bugger, etc… Work those meaty treats through the deeper runs and holes for your best luck.
