Bitterroot River is fishing - warming up, coming up

John Hickman with a nice trout on the Bitterroot RiverWell, we are having spring weather!

Two days ago it was freezing, now our lows are 36 degrees and our high for today is forecasted at 68 degrees. Currently, in the late morning it is about 50 degrees.

Warm weather will bring the bugs but it will bring down the snowpack, too. The upper river has come up close to 200 cubic feet per second (CFS) in the last two days. If we can have cool nights as forecasted, we will have an orderly, slower rise in CFS and better chances of great fishing.

Nice photo of John. Yes, he is always this happy!
