REPORTS: The draw down from the dam is still producing murkey conditions on the floats from Missoula down to about Tarkio. Below this chunk of water, you'll have a much better shot at hooking up. It's definietly an early morning or late evening affair here these days due to warmer water temperatures and limited bug activity in the blazing sun. The tricos are just getting going now, and in specific spot, can produce some very good morning activity. Your best bet midday is a hopper dropper rig. Either that or a really straight 19 oz. cue and a pitcher of Fat Tire (dark of course).
HATCHES: Caddis, giant golden stones, PMDs, terrestrials.
FLIES: Royal stimis, Rogue goldens, parachute madam x, Ausable Wulffs, comparadun and thorax PMDs, parachute Adams in 12s and 14s. Goddard caddis (especially in the late evening), flashback p-tails.
