The upper river, the WAY upper river, has been giving it up big time.  The rest of the Bitterroot is destined to oblige over the next few days of dropping water flows.  The clarity is improving quickly and the bugs are definitely there.  Look for opportunistic feeders river-wide today using golden stones, green drakes and even hopper/dropper rigs.  Streamers may be an ok option on the lower 1/3 of the ‘root today, but they’ll be even better by the end of the week.  It’s potentially dangerous rowing up here right now, but if you know what you’re doing, we’d have faith in being on the Bitterroot today.

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

HATCHES/Flies: salmonflies, hoppers in the sun, caddis, yellow sallies, 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.
