**The Blackfoot and some of The Blackfoot Tributaries are going on Hoot Owl restrictions as of last friday (7/30). This includes the North Fork, Copper Creek, Montoure, and Morrell Creeks.**

Hoppers and spruce moths are still the go-to bugs at this point although the caddis are hugely relevant towards the end of the day. Black terrestrials have also been the ticket for mid day. Hopper/ant or p-tail dropper rigs have also been very effective, especially on the mid river sections between about County Line and River Bend. With the blazing heat we’re getting, the lower river will once again be inundated with inner tubers, so short of getting on at daybreak and being off by noon, you’re in for some “overly happy” company on the lower reaches today.

 

HATCHES: caddis, PMDs, yellow sallies, hoppers and spruce moths – terrestrials in general

PATTERNS: golden stones in sizes 12 to 14. Attractor stuff in a size 8 or 10, elk hair or other caddis in a 12 or 14. Batman/ p-tail or red San Juan nymph rigs.
