The guide reports off the Blackfoot the last few days have been marginal. It sounds like the weather and water temps made things pretty tough. There is still plenty of bug action, but hopefully some consistent weather this week will level out the conditions a little bit. For dries use October caddis, tricos, big PMDs, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, 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.
