Since writing the fishing report yesterday morning the Blackfoot has gone up around 700 CFS. That is quite the jump. The Clark here in town turned brown and the water is up in the willows at the Doubletree.

That means it’s official. Spring run off is in full swing.

That means it’s time to start tying bugs. Get those Goldens, PMDs, Sallies, and Tricos ready to rock and roll. Don’t forget your salmonflies either.

It’s also a great time of year to learn.

Get those bugs cranking and be ready when the water gets right.
