FISHING: Fair
The Flows at Melrose Montana are 1030 C.F.S. The Salmonfly hatch is done for this year and it was pretty much a bust. The flows are dropping and it may be a short year on the Bighole this year. Water restrictions are going into affect in Butte to try and help keep water in the river for the Artic Grayling. Currently the river is fishing great with caddis and pmd's hatching on a consistent basis. The good ole parachute adams has been producing some great results as are other pmd and caddis imitations.
