Blackfoot River Fishing Report - 3/29

 

 

With the colder weather and precipitation we had over the weekend, The flows have flattened out and are holding stable.  The clarity is still good but you're gonna half to wait a little bit before it gets warm enough for the dry fly action to get going today, despite a forecast high of 70 degrees.  Tandem nymph rigs with a San Juan, egg pattern, pheasant tail, micro stone, double beaded stone, or a hares ear have been successful underneath.  Stripping streamers through the deeper pools and runs with a sparkle minnow or standard bugger have been getting good chases too, colors have been a mixture of olive, tan, and black .  Mid afternoon you should see some March browns and skwalas popping, for those guys, toss a Gould's half down, flush floater, carnage skwala, Parachute adams, GT emerger, purple haze, or parachute pheasant tail.  The flow at the bottom is sitting at 630cfs and should see a small bump from today's warmer weather, but nothing considerable.

 

HATCHES: Midges, impatience

FLIES: Prince nymphs, tiny parachute adams, stonefly nymphs, slow moving streamers.
