It’s been cold up on the Blackfoot for a couple weeks now, and this icy blast that we’re scheduled to get will only make it worse. If you’re wild enough to brave the freeze, this probably isn’t where you want to be. 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.
