Bitterroot Fishing Report - 4/3

 

More nice cloud cover, cooler temps, and higher humidity in the forecast for the weekend - yee haw! The Clark has been fishing well. Like most of the area rivers, the cooler nights have been moving the dryfly action closer to the middle of the day. Decent nymphing and streamer fishing can be had pretty much right when you hit the water in the morning. Black buggers with a red San Juan worm trailer about 10" off the back have been a good setup for us in the morning. Tricos have been on the water around 10am till about 1pm. Hi-vis trico spinners have been the ticket for sipping trout. Twitching hoppers through inside riffles has still been very productive. Get it while its good!

 

HATCHES: caddis, hoppers, nocturnal stones, tricos, pmds

FLIES: Morris Hoppers, chubby chernobyls, caddis, Prince nymphs, golden stones/nymphs, streamers.
