Of the local rivers, The Bitterroot is taking the longest to even out and come into fishing shape. That being said, if you're willing to drive to the upper stretches, you can turn some fish if you work for them. Water is still dropping, and we could see productivity get pretty good here in the next couple weeks. Hitting some...

The Blackfoot is responsible for a lot of the mud we're seeing on the Clark Fork here in town. That means getting above Bonner will increase your chances of a good outing. With the drop in flows we've been seeing lately, it shouldn't be long before the lower sections start to perform well. For streamers use a JJ's special, olive...

  We've seen a huge drop in flows on the Missouri below Holter Dam. It went from 11000cfs early in the week to just under 5000cfs now. Variable flows can sometimes mess with the fishing, but we've been hearing good reports from the last few days, and wade fishing options are becoming more and more available with the dropping water...

The Bitterroot is holding relatively steady at 9,000cfs in the lower end, but very up-and-down on the upper end around 5000cfs. This is still higher than the historical average, and clarity isn't great. Your best fishing is going to be in side channels and back eddies with heavy nymph rigs. If you can swing it, you'd be more successful hitting...
