Bitterroot report – 5/6


BR-S-11You may get 1/2 a day of fishing in before the wall of water hits.  While the numbers don’t show that much of an increase this morning, the graphs tell the story.  High water’s on the way.  Little chance for this to let up, too, with 74 degrees today and warm and rainy moving in.  If you do take your chances today,  It’s mostly a March brown and caddis deal  although in calmer conditions, skwalas are still in the game.  Nymphing or deep droppers off your dries will probably be more productive for you if water levels begin to rise more aggressively throughout the day.  If they do, tan or brown San Juans become money!

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: Skwalas, caddis, yellow sallies, March browns,  BWOs. Consider buggers as a streamer option in the slow stuff.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: True run-off generally begins around May 11th. You’ve still got some time – statistically!!
