Montana Fly Fishing Report: Kootenai River

Hoppers and droppers continue to be the rig of choice.  With high sun and hot days fish have definitley become a bit more tight lipped as of late from a dry fly point of view.  Nymphing continues to move fish in faster runs and riffles so be don’t be afraid to bust out the bobbers!  Guides have also noticed fish become a bit more boat shy what with gin clear water and high sun so lengthen leaders and consider 6x in the slicks and glassy runs.  5x still working just fine through faster water and riffles.
