The Bitterroot skwala hatch came on last week just in time for spring break (this is why the staff at www.mthookandbullet.com is so fond of the education profession. But by the weekend things had gotten a little too warm and the river came up. This morning the Bitterroot was measured at 1,130 cfs at the Darby gauge. That's a great level for fast scenic floats, but too high for good fishing. If the the river comes down this week in response to predicted lower temperatures, the hatch could be back on next weekend when the weather is supposed to be nice again.

Hi Rob. It was great to see you on the Bitterroot with George on Sunday. We did a skwala post, too at http://wapiti-waters.blogspot.com/. We caught some fish and will do another slideshow from that day soon. See our skwala photos on the blog. By the way, my brother's name is Roy Loman at the Alpine Training Center in Whitefish. He is always looking for a fishing buddy. Take care,
Jack Mauer and Merle Loman
