  With the smoke gone and the temperatures dropping, the Bitterroot has really turned the corner. Hecubas, tricos, PMDs, and BWOs have all been coming off throughout the day. Bring some rusty spinners, parachute adams, BWO sparkle duns, purple hazes, purple roosters, and trico spinners to cover all your bases today. If for whatever reason they're not playing ball, bring...

  People are starting to get excited about hunting, so it can be a little easier to find yourself alone on the water. The night time lows have The Blackfoot running pretty cold, therefor the early morning fishing has been pretty slow. 10-11 am is when the fish have been waking up. Streamer fishing has been picking up in a...

  We've had boats going out to both ends of the Clark Fork the last week or so, and it's all been pretty good. Streamers on the upper end, dry flies on the lower end, although hopper fishing has been good river wide. Tricos in the morning and hoppers in the afternoon. Natural colored hoppers and trico spinners have worked...

**Rock Creek, Missoula Ranger District (Granite/Missoula Counties): The Rock Creek Road #102 corridor and recreation access remains open. The Welcome Creek bridge remains open for fishing access only, below the high-water mark on the west bank of Rock Creek. All fishing access sites and campgrounds in Rock Creek remain open.** Nice to see the pressure dropping off just a bit...

  With the water temps dropping into the 50's, the fishing has been creeping towards the fun fall fishing everyone loves. The flow at the bottom is below 400 cfs, which is still way above the historical average. For dry flies, use chubby chernobyls, more-or-less hoppers, PMXs, water walkers, Bugmeisters, panty dropper hoppers, purple roosters, brindle chutes, dancing caddis, and...

  The Clark Fork has been fishing really well, especially when we get a cloudy day. Top to bottom, The Clark Fork has been a pretty good bet. Mornings and evenings the fish have been moving out into the flat slicks looking for caddis and mayflies, while during mid day they have been piling into the riffles waiting for hoppers...

  You should have good fishing on the 'root today, with good trico action through the morning and hopper action in the afternoon. The trico eating fish on the lower river have started to get a little snotty, so sizing down may be the name of the game. Tails-up tricos, sunken spinners, midge clusters, and double wing spinners have fooled...
