Fly Fishing - trico-pico day on the Bitterroot with Marshall

All photos are courtesy of Marshall Bloom. They used his camera. This is a day on the lower Bitterroot. They were looking to fish tricos and to catch pike. Looks like a pretty successful and beautiful day. Thanks, Marshall, for the photos! By the way, grilled elk steak was the main course for lunch. Yum.

See all of Marshall's photos of pike and the Bitterroot River below.

    Tricos as in the small BWO size 20-24 that comes out in the fall? Or are they done? Assume what you are referring to in your title but if so where you catching trout too? Those pike are nice eaters. I'd keep every last one in the B-Root, they can really out compete trout from what I hear...

    Yes, the small BWO's are still here. We are finally getting below freezing tonight. We will see what changes that brings. Marshall ate the pike! We definitely are fishing to get different thrill by catching a big pike, but also to remove them from the river. They eat trout like crazy! We don't want that.

    Pike are very much a threat. Fun to catch, but boy they like to eat trout!

    You are right on both counts, Ryan! We agree.
