August on the Bitterroot!
Hello all, sorry I have not updated the fishing report in a few weeks. After a slow June everyone wanted to fish in July. Now that August is here the Bitterroot river is still in great shape. The hatches and river levels are about 3 weeks behind so the river is still fishing like mid July. Bugs hatching are Golden stones, the smaller Bitterroot stones, Pmd’s a few Green Drakes and Caddis. These hatches should begin to drop off overb the week as we transition into late summer conditions. Terrestrials such as (grasshoppers, spruce moths, beetles and ants) will be the main target for trout until fall. Get out and take advantage of the great summer fishing. See ya on the river……………….
