Tip of the Week: If you're heading out, be ready for both: BWO dries for the slow foam lines and a box of streamers for fish that want to chase.

7 Day Outlook: The weather for Missoula is looking better this weekend than it was last weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday will have highs in the 60s with a mix of sun and clouds. Looking into next week it is going to be similar to the weekend with temps in the 60s and a mix of sun and clouds. Overnight lows in the 30s so getting a little later start to fishing is ok.

Best Techniques: With a little cooler weather there is a chance of more BWOs and Magohany’s. Look for BWOs on the slow foam lines and fish a single dry on a long leader. If nothing is rising, nymph the deeper, slower runs with a BWO or Mahogany nymph.Throw streamers like Sparkle Minnows or Peanut Envies along deep banks and soft seams.
