REPORTS: The Blackfoot's up another 20 cfs in the past 24 hours bringing the total 2 day increase to about 100 cfs. The push of water that started the day before yesterday afternoon has brought some color to the river, but just about enough to improve the streamer fishing, really. Larger dries will continue producing some nice fish as the water gains clarity throughout the day today. There's going to be some wind today, particularly in the afternoon, so chucking junk might be the best plan for lots of reasons. If the clouds remain throughout the day, look for the fish to key on the green drakes and PMDs. Today's flow near Bonner is 2150 cfs.
HATCHES: Salmonflies, caddis, green drakes, golden stones, PMDs.
FLIES: Bigger salmonflies and goldens, button emerger and cripple green drakes, #12 or 14 royal Wulffs, deep and slow tandem nymph rigs, brown, olive or black streamers in the clouds, brighter colors like peach and yellow in the sun. Big fuzzy junk that you can strip across the surface for fluttering caddis.
