CURRENT CONDITIONS

The Bitterroot jumped big time this week with the warm weather we've been having.  Muddy and big this week.  Tributaries and lakes are your best option right now.

Looking Forward

Bitterroot will most likely start to drop next week with cooler weather on the horizon.  We'll keep you updated.  Salmonflies on the upper Bitterroot are coming soon!

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)
