Fishing Locations

Cooler temps have turned on the streamer bite, this will just get better with extended forecast having some low overnight temps. Play around with your retrieve when stripping streamers until you find what the fish want as its changed day to day.  BWO's are also out and a good option. Nymphing has been steady with stoneflies and attractor nymphs such as copper johns and lil spankers. Floating below Wise River and above Melrose are seeing the best results as of now.
