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, micro stones, beer head baetis, San Juan worms, October caddis pupae and batman nymphs. For streamers use big dark double bunnies, sculpzillas, mouthwashes, standard buggers, sparkle minnows and dark articulated patterns.
