FISHING: Good
The Flows on the Bighole at Melrose are above average at 361 C.F.S. There are still some tricos flying around on the river. Psudeocleons and baetis are also starting to hatch throughout the river system. Streamer fishing on the Bighole can be some of the best in the world and if the weather is right stripping big flies can produce a very nice fish. Dry dropper rigs are also very good on the Bighole this time of year and you can have a good number of fish come up to general attractor patterns fished in the seams and along the riffle drop offs throughout the river. This is a great time of year to be on the Bighole as there are very few anglers and the scenery on the river once the leaves start to change color is amazing.
