  The uppermost river might treat you ok, but the river from about Darby downstream is going to need a day to get its act together.  It's not that you can't catch some fish up here today, but you'll work much harder for them than you have been or even will be tomorrow.  Pretty substantial pushes of water over the...

  REPORT: The upper end should fish well for you today having risen only 300 cfs in the past 48 hours.  The mid river (through town here) and the lower sections below about Tarkio are going to need a day to chill having seen increases up to 2000 cfs in 48 hours.  The river has stabilized and will be fishable...

  REPORT: Back to being fish and user friendly as water levels drop and the daytime highs start to think about creeping upward again.  It's going to take a few hours for the water to warm up a bit since it's starting out this morning at 40 degrees.  By early afternoon, though, you should have fish willing to eat a...

    REPORT: The creek is up nearly 25% on the lower end compared with yesterday morning.  Water clarity is still good but the graph is heading up big time.  The push of water we're seeing now won't last long unless we get a bunch of rain to go along with the wind that's upon us.  Good fishing on the...

Hope is...

    REPORT: Water temps up here are definitely getting up to that happy level that inspires dryfly consistency.  This morning's water temp on the lower end is 46 degrees - almost swimming kinda balmy!  The fishing on the creek these days is nothing short of exceptional.  Parachute Adams, royal Wullfs, button emergers, elk hair caddis, skwalas, tandem nymph combos...

REPORT: Yeah, the wind.  Not a good thing.  Looks like it's going to be bad today which is unfortunate since water levels are still relatively stable on this river and the cloud cover would also have been a huge benefit. Contrary to the silly little goofball who e-mails us accusatory tirades about how the Clark sucks, and that we're lying...

The river is seeing an aggressive bump in flows this morning after the unusually warm couple of days we had.  This won't help your prospects much especially since they're calling for NASCAR speed winds today as well, but the Bitterroot has been fishing SOOOOOO well recently, that we think it'll still give up at least decent fishing today if you're...

  REPORT: It's going to freakin' HOWL over here today.  This river can give up seriously disruptive wind and today looks to be one of those days.  If you can manage a drift with about ANYTHING subsurface that doesn't get blown in whitecap fashion back upstream, you'll hook up.  Just a matter of how badly you need to get bent. ...
