The Bitterroot had clarity on May 7 and still on May 8 – also terrific caddis hatches! But now the weather has been much warmer and the flows are stepping up. See the charts below.

Bitterroot River on May 7 north of Angler’s Roost

Darby gauge station is upriver from Angler’s Roost – on May 7 flows at Darby were about 1900 CFS

Bell Crossing gauge station is downriver from Angler’s Roost. On May 7 flows were about 3,000 CFS

Still snow in the mountains!!! Bitterroot is 89 % of normal.
