It’s getting cold up here on the Blackfoot. Mornings are pretty tough, as the fish are pretty lethargic from the cool temps. Things don’t really get rolling until the afternoon. Stick to nymphs and streamers, unless you see some bugs flying around. For dries use October caddis, tricos, BWOs, elk hair caddis, Orange Stimulators, parachute adams, and purple hazes. For nymphs use Pat’s rubber legs, princes, double beaded stones, skipper stones, big green machine baetis, San Juan worms, October caddis pupae and batman nymphs. For streamers use nacy P’s, sculpzillas, boogie men, standard buggers, sparkle minnows and double dirty hippies.

HATCHES: mahoganies, october caddis, BWOs, etc.

PATTERNS: Streamers, parachute adams, elk hair caddis, morris hopper, Copper Johns, Psycho Prince, Red or pink San Jaun worms in tandem with size 12 or 14 squirrel tail nymphs. Sculpzilla streamers, JJ’s specials, Prince nymphs, girdle bugs.
