Bitterroot Fishing Report -

  The Bitterroot has been on a steady drop all weekend long.  With the light snow and today's warmer temps we'll definitely see another bump in the flows.  The best fishing is still in the back and side channels and close to the banks but obvious runs that haven't been effected by the flows are still holding fish.  Fishing streamers...

  This weather is spectacular and the fishing shouldn't be too bad either.  With a flow around 2400 cfs and great clarity and lot's of bugs, I feel like the rest of this fishing report is almost not needed.  Anyways though, For top water patterns, use a low riding skwala, like a Gould's half down or a flush floater. For...

  Today is turning out to be a pretty nice day given the weather forecast.  With a high of 70 degrees and partly cloudy you should see some March browns and skwalas popping.  The flow on the Bitterroot above Missoula is hovering at 2700cfs and should bump a little with today's weather, but not anything remarkable until the break of...

  LOOK! It's dropping fast and the fishing is shaping up.  The flow just above Missoula is a little over 2700cfs and will continue to improve.  The top water action has been best in the afternoons but the morning nymph fishing has been very worth while as things warm up.  For the top water patterns, use a low riding skwala...

    The 'root continues to fish very well these days, just ask the grumpy crew floating next to you!  While the days of lonely early season fishing on the Bitterroot have long since passed, the quality fishing still remains if you don't mind some company.  It'll pay even more, now, to work a bit harder to hit areas which...

    The Bitterroot is certainly seeing some good spring fishing with the more reasonable spring weather.  The skwala fishing has picked up in a big way and the flows haven't been doing anything too crazy since they stabilized.  We should see a couple more minor bumps and drops as the weather changes and we work our way into the...

  FWP will be shocking 2 miles below the Hanon Access The Bitterroot has stabilized and is on a steady drop with the flows above town at 3100cfs. The clarity is good and improving with the lack of new run off too. The skwalas have been popping and the fish are starting to look up for them again after the...

  The Bitterroot has stabilized and is on a steady drop with the flows above town at 3500cfs.  The clarity is good and improving with the lack of new run off too.  The skwalas have been popping and the fish are starting to look up for them again after the funky flows we had.  For top water patterns use a...

  Up up and away!  This rain and warm weather has not been very good for fishing.  The flow just above town has gone from 1500 cfs to a little over 4000 cfs in two days, which as I said before, is not good.  Your better off finding other things to do today like tying flies or thatching your lawn. ...

  The skwalas have begun.  Yesterdays sunny weather got the first push of skwala dries flying around and the fish are looking up.  Today could be the first day of some really decent dry fly fishing so be prepared with a fistful of dry patterns just in case.  Bullet head skwalas, Gould's half downs, Rogue Skwalas, Peacock bugmeisters, and Carnage...
