Lots of bugs up here these days including green drakes, CRAZY caddis numbers on sunny afternoons and evenings and full on salmonflies mid river when the sun’s out. The Blackfoot has been giving it up over the past few days on top and fishing pretty well with streamers for a week now. Today’s clouds will make the green drakes more viable and the fish should be on ’em even with the little impending bump in flows. Expect very good big bug fishing up here when the next sunny day happens and decent nymphing, streamer and mayfly topwater action until then. While flows are still dropping as of this morning, you can pretty much expect a tiny bump from the rain last night. Nothing major.
