It’s looking like the warmer nights are starting to release the high elevation snow gradually in some drainages.  The flows below the confluence of the blackfoot are starting to rise slowly, but everything above is holding moderately stable or dropping.  The fishing has been pretty darn good with the whole gambit of drys, nymphs, and streamers.  If you’re heading to the upper sections, you might want to consider stopping at Rock Creek and hitting up the salmon fly hatch. It just started getting going and should offer some spectacular fishing if you’re in the area. Otherwise, count on drakes, BWOs, and caddis in the evening.  The top water fishing has been good when it’s present which is mostly in the afternoons, but a dry/dropper rig has been a good bet for all day fishing. For streamers, sculpzillas, mouthwashes, krelix minnows, sparkle minnows, and standard buggers have all been working well.

 

HATCHES: Drakes, a few BWOs, caddis
