J.M.'s first cast ever yielded this 20" brown trout on the Bitterroot river on Mar. 2nd. Unbelievable. Same story as earlier this week; some capnia, midges and no skwalas. There have been a handful of the big bugs spotted, but hardly enough to make a trout get goofy for them. Our best fly yesterday was a #10 skwala nymph that I tie. It was a great way to kick off the 2013 guiding season.
I heard tell of a two-footer that was caught on the Bitterroot River yesterday. NO CAMERA=NO PROOF! It came from a very reputable source so I believe it. The weather was perfect for those big browns to be out and about.
But the river is REALLY low . As soon as we get a bump in flows it should
really get cranking. We have a few spots left for March. I think the fishing will solid beginning by about the 12th. www.flyfishmissoula.com
