REPORTS: The Blackfoot fished well yesterday on top with big red attractor patterns picking up a few fatties. However, as water levels continue to fall, we are moving most of our trips to other rivers in a cooperative effort to protect this fragile fishery. We will stop guiding on this river all together when flows near the 600 cfs . For now, though, keep your fishing early in the day and plan on being off early. The lower river will be very crowded by about 11 a.m. with tubers.
HATCHES: Caddis,tricos, golden stones, PMDs, terrestrials.
FLIES: Golden stones (both giant and yellow sallie), button emerger and cripple mayfly patterns, #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.
WEATHER: Today. Isolated mainly dry thunderstorms in the afternoon. Sunny in the morning then becoming partly cloudy. Highs 91 to 96. Tonight. Slight chance of mainly dry thunderstorms. Partly cloudy. Lows 51 to 56. Monday. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy. Highs 89 to 94. Monday night. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy in the evening then becoming partly cloudy. Lows 52 to 58. Tuesday through Wednesday night. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy. Highs 84 to 90. Lows 48 to 55. Thursday and Thursday night. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy. Highs 81 to 86. Lows 47 to 54.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Stick to the upper reaches of The Blackfoot today for better fishing and less company.
