Fishing Report: July 11, 2010

/in /by

The Bitterroot river has continued to drop over the past week. Current water levels are at or slightly above average and leveling off. The river is in great shape for floating and fishing. Abundant hatches are making for some consistent dry fly fishing. Green and gray drakes, PMD’s for the may flies, golden stones from #8-#14 are coming off in large numbers on the warm afternoons. If you choose to stay on the water until dark there is also a great caddis hatch. Most of these hatches will continue throughout the end of July. See ya on the river.

The Bitterroot is flowing slightly above average but has dropped quite a bit in the last week. Salmon flies are about done on the West Fork but a few fish will eat a well presented imitation. Not only are the East and West Forks fishing but the entire river from Darby down to Missoula is coming into shape.This is a time of abundant and diverse hatches. Golden Stones, Green & Gray Drakes, PMD’s and Caddis can be found emerging on the entire river. Thanks to all the rain we had in May and June, July should be a great month for fly fishing. See ya on the river.
