Blackfoot River - Freshwater Fishing Report
River Score:
2/5 Poor
The Blackfoot is experiencing raising water levels with increased runoff as the warm weather causes the ice on the lakes to melt off. Water flow speed is increasing as well, making this much more boating conditions than wading. Regardless, we recommend big flies to help the fish see your casts.
We can still fish here if you'd like, but we recommend you check out some other Missoula Rivers.
Current Hatches:
March Browns, Grey Drakes
