The Bitteroot is on the rise and is at 4880 cfs. Focus on side channels and ” walking pace water”. Expect to be fishing tandem nymph rigs and streamers. A tandem rig with a Pat’s rubber leg, pheasant tail, superman, big green machine, or a San Juan worm will get it done. If you want to swing some streamers, use big dark colored buggers and sculpin patterns tight to the banks. In higher flows like this, getting your junk to the fish can be tricky. Using heavier than usual bugs and giving them an extra second or two to get down can make a big difference.

HATCHES/Flies: skwalas, mothers day caddis, grey drakes, baetis,
