Blackfoot River Fishing Report + Rating

4/5

September 16, 2024

The Blackfoot is fishing good and fall seems to be here at least for now.  We have a good weather week and we should start to see more of our fall hatches like Mahoganies, BWO’s and October Caddis.  October Caddis nymphs are working and the adults should start soon.  Look for BWO’s to really start to come on as we get some rain the first half of this week.  Our fingers are crossed that we start seeing more Mahoganies as well.  If you aren’t seeing bugs and fish rising a Hopper/Dropper is a must have set up.  Droppers being October Caddis Nymphs, small stonefly nymphs, BWO Nymphs or San Juans.  Look for streamer fishing to start picking up this week as well.  White, Olive or Black are really good this time of year.  Switch your colors up until you find what the fish like.

1/2 off Friday’s are still happening, every Friday all year long. (1/2 off your first dozen dries or nymphs)
