The fishing continues to improve as we move into April. The spring hatches are in full swing and we are getting into some of the best fishing of the year. Along with Skwala’s we are seeing good numbers of Nemouras, Capnia, March Browns, Gray drakes, BWO’s and midges. Flows have bumped gradually over the last week but the river is still in great shape. Nights are still cold so the best dry fly action is afternoon.
The Fishing is Starting to Heat Up

After a slow start, dry fly fishing is beginning to improve. Water temps on the Bitterroot have been cold but are gradually warming. This has the stone flies hatching and the fish looking up. The best action is in the afternoon when water temps are the highest. Skwala’s and Nemoura’s are the predominant hatches right now. I’ve seen a few of the spring may flies starting to emerge but not in high enough numbers to get the fish keying on them. The river is in great shape and the fishing will only get better in the coming days…

The Bitterroot snowpack is looking pretty good at 115% of normal. There is still quite a bit of winter left so lets hope this trend continues. If you are into winter fly fishing there are a few opportunities to fish. Fishing nymph rigs deep in the slower runs can get you hooked up on the milder days… If you are looking forward to some dry fly fishing, the Skwala hatch is about 6 weeks away..
