This river is on fire this year! 2013-05-16T15:49:05+00:00 http://www.grizzlyhackle.com/river-reports/view/rock-creek/ http://www.grizzlyhackle.com/river-reports/view/rock-creek/#When:15:48:24Z The water is still dropping, but is still very high.  Be very careful if you decide to wade.  Think big flashy nymphs and streamers super tight to the banks and in the soft water.  It is at a floatable level.  Be careful if you float.  We haven't heard of any hazards, but there are new ones every year. Salmonflies will be hitting the water soon!   Don't forget 1/2 OFF Fridays.  50% Off your 1st dozen nymphs and dries!  Every Friday - Every Week 2013-05-16T15:48:24+00:00 http://www.grizzlyhackle.com/river-reports/view/clark-fork-river-below-missoula/ http://www.grizzlyhackle.com/river-reports/view/clark-fork-river-below-missoula/#When:15:47:20Z It's gonna be out for a little while...Check out the Upper Clark, the Mo or the Beaverhead this weekend.

Clinton to Turah has a lot of log jams and sweepers.  Make sure you stay attentive and be CAREFUL! The shop is stocked with all the flies you'll need for the Upper Clark!  Come by the shop and see us... The snowpack for the Upper Clark Fork is currently at 95%! 2013-05-16T15:43:39+00:00 http://www.grizzlyhackle.com/river-reports/view/west-fork-of-the-bitterroot-river/ http://www.grizzlyhackle.com/river-reports/view/west-fork-of-the-bitterroot-river/#When:15:41:06Z Dropping right now.  Floating could be an option.  Think nymphing, and think Salmonfly nymphs, pheasant tails, prince's, san juans and caddis nymphs.   Please call for up-to-the-minute reports. 406-721-8996   Try a Patagonia Stormfront Hip Pack on the West Fork.  Our favorite for wade fishing! 2013-05-16T15:41:06+00:00 http://www.grizzlyhackle.com/river-reports/view/bitterroot-river-at-florence/ http://www.grizzlyhackle.com/river-reports/view/bitterroot-river-at-florence/#When:15:18:44Z Dropping, but it is still cranking...
