CURRENT CONDITIONS
The Bitterroot is big and getting muddy. The next few days of warm temps won’t help. Time to hit up the Missouri or wait until the 3rd Saturday of this month when the small creeks open and there are more options out there.
Looking Forward
Bitteroot is going through runoff. If we get a few days of cold you could have a window of great nymphing and streamer fishing this month. May 17th the creeks open up.
FLOATERS BEWARE
Lots of trees are down again this year and a few places are dangerous. Give our Missoula fly shop a call for up-to-date information. 1/2 off Friday’s are still happening, every Friday all year long. (1/2 off your first dozen dries or nymphs)
