The Blackfoot bumped up in the past few days with the rain we received. Flows briefly popped up above 1,200 cfs and water temps cooled off, just what the river needed. The water is coming back down now, as you can see from the chart.
Fishing is starting to get a little tougher over here. With water temps warming up and a lot of folks on the water, the fish are starting to get a little skittish. On bright days, the bigger fish are going to be down deep in the faster water.
Dry fly fishing is still very good with caddis and mayflies. Keep an eye out for some good hatches. Also, terrestrials are really beginning to make an appearance. Beetles, ants and hoppers are a must have at this point. Larger attractors are also working well. When action up top slows down, drift a double nymph rig through some of the deeper water.
