Rock Creek Fishing Report - 3/21

The Bitterroot is hopping up and down with the rise and fall of daily temps.  The flow at Missoula is bumping up around 6000cfs with poor clarity. The main channel is not fishing that great, but the back and side channels along with the mouths of tributaries have been doable. Streamers and double nymph rigs have been the most successful, but people have been finding some spotty dry fly action in the slower water.  For streamers, sculpzillas, sex dungeons, krelix minnows, sparkle minnows, and standard buggers will all be good bets in the slower water. For nymphs try big stonefly nymphs, Pat's rubber legs, San Juan worms, big lightning bugs, caddis pupae, and  crayfish patterns. If you do see any drys coming off be prepared with some drakes, BWOs, and caddis for the evening.
