Nor would I neglect the Bitterroot River. The West Fork of the Bitterroot has wonderful Caddis activity this time of year. Use to live near Darby. Missed it terribly.

The Grizzley Hackle is a good fly shop in Missoula. Stop in there and ask them what is fishing hot. As far as access goes, Montana has the best steam access laws in the States. If you enter the water at a public access point, such as a fishing access, bridge or along a road right of way, you are in state owned waters and can fish anywhere you like as long as you stay within the high water marks. Some B**** from Colorado are challenging the stream access law here in Montana now. If they win, I may have to move. > > Hope this helps, > > Pat Eller > > > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/02/02 12:09PM >>> > Hi everyone! > > Bit of a question for anyone living in or having > familiarity with the waters around Missoula, Montana. > > > See, I have the fortune of attending my Godson's > christening this weekend in Missoula.
