Early Summer Report

After an unusually high runoff thanks to above average snow pack, it looks like the Bitterroot River peaked on May 25th and is on the decline. The river has dropped about 2000 cfs in the last week… I am estimating that the river will be in shape by about the middle of June… Salmon flies should be out in abundance by then. Water levels will be high and fast, so proceed with caution and always wear a PFD. I’ll be guiding on the Missouri for another week then back to the Bitterroot to scout the river and prepare for summer. See ya on the river…………
