Conditions
: Bitterroot River: The Bitterroot is fishing good. Its going up and down with daily warm temps and snow melt, but still very fishable. Not much for dry fly action, just yet, but the nymphing gets better every day in the mid-river. The upper river above Hamilton is seeing some Salmonflies and Goldens, so make sure to have a bunch if youre making the drive up there The rest of the river stick with Rubberlegs, Double Bead Stones, Jig PTs, Jig Princes and San Juans. Streamer fishing is a good option with smaller streamers like Zonkers, Sparkle Minnows, Flash Minnows and Baby Gongas. With the temps gettin more normal we should see the river stay at this shape for a bit, but its fishing! Reported by: The Grizzly Hackle |
