Seven (7) Day Fly Fishing Forecast: quite slow

 Still cold around here, no surprise! The fishing is slow, but you can get it done on the Bitterroot, just be careful of the edge ice. dress warmly, and be careful wading. We should start seeing the Capnias (snowflies) soon, but it will take warmer weather to get the fish moving to them. On a plus side, we are above average in snow pack in the Bitterroot valley, and getting snow almost every night, so that is a good sign for this years fishing.
