Bitterroot Report – 5/30


bitterThe river picked up some color the past 2 days but is on the way back down now.  It’s still moving right along and is a dangerous scene for inattentive rowers.  The fishing isn’t what it was up here a week ago, but it’s coming back into shape fast.  We’d skip it today and probably tomorrow then look again for the weekend.  If you do head this direction, it’s going to be indicator nymphs RIGHT in front of you off slower moving and shallower (less than 6′ deep) banks.

1/2 OFF Fridays.  50% Off your 1st dozen nymphs and dries!  Every Friday – Every Week    

Additionally, all dries and nymphs are $1.95 every day to begin with and nearly all streamers are $2.25 – EVERY day, EVERY week

HATCHES/Flies: a hopper or two in the sun, caddis, yellow sallies, March browns,  soon to be green drakes

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Most of the water’s already out of the mountains.  Look for consistently receding flows with occasional fishing interrupting bumps here and there.
