August 29th Fishing Report

August 29th Fishing Report

Hoot Owl has officially been lifted for the entire Bitterroot River. We have been seeing cooler temps here in the Bitterroot and the fish and hatches are responding well. There has been a steady Trico hatch, and we are starting to see more Hecuba's as well. Hoppers have been fishing well above all else, throw a dropper on of a Perdigon or a jig Duracell to increase your chances. The upper river is still the better fishing however we are starting to see the lower river shaping up a bit. 

The current flows for lower river are 340 CFS, 380 CFS for upper river, and 300 CFS for the West Fork.
