Its been pretty chilly up on The Blackfoot lately, but once the day warms up the fishing has been good. October caddis and baetis have been the main bugs on top. Streamer fishing on the Blackfoot is picking up big time. Just know that some of the biggest fish of the year are pulled when ripping streamers. For dries use October caddis, tricos, big PMDs, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, Orange Stimulators, parachute adams, and purple hazes. For nymphs use Pat's rubber legs, princes, double beaded stones, micro stones, beer head baetis, San Juan worms, October caddis pupae and batman nymphs.
