You should have some decent fishing on the Blackfoot today in the cloudy weather, but we don’t think it’ll be as good as your other 3 immediate options. It’s taking a bit longer for the clarity to come back up here . . .which is an issue. Still, though, there will be some fish looking up for big stoneflies, green drakes, PMDs and some afternoon caddis. Your best bet is likely to be tandem nymph rigs or dark bodied streamers. Size 14 tandem beadhead p-tails are a very good bet this time of year as are smaller black or brown bugger type stuff.
