Dry Fly Fishing Report: Bitterroot River

The cooler weather has dropped the flows in the Missoula area and the fish have responded.  The dry fly fishing on the Bitterroot is pretty good these days.  The Skwala dry fly was the most effective bug for us yesterday and we saw some March Browns and a few Baetis and Midges flying around in the afternoon.  “Cheddar’s” boat fished streamers all day and caught some really nice brown trout.  Yesterday we participated in a benefit guide trip for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Missoula.  We raised some money for the organization and had a blast fishing for a good cause…..

Bob Massey caught this one and a bunch more like it on the Bitterroot yesterday.
