Bitterroot River

The Bitterroot River is a north flowing freestone river with gin clear water, lots of cottonwoods and pines on the flats which border the banks and a fish population of 4000 trout per mile. It is full of large cutthroat, trophy sized browns and large rainbows. It also is a dry fly river. Early spring brings a record squala stone hatch along with blue winged olives and midge hatches. Summers provide variety of possibilities for surface fishing. Pale morning duns, green drakes, gray drakes, brown drakes, and golden stones all come in abundance in the summer month for great dry fly action. Hopper begin in mid July and last into late September. Trophy sized trout can be caught with streamers especially in this river. Blue-winged olives return in the fall and fall October caddis show up as well. River access is primarily by raft or drift boats.
