Fishing 15 good only in sloughs says an angler
Missoula reports suggest anglers find better catches in sloughs than lakes or larger streams as water levels run high and muddy. Frank Hogan notes swift currents push fish to the bottom while clearer, slower sloughs like those along the Missoula river and near Rock Creek yield more fish. Some success is reported at Brown's lake and Lake Ronan but Bitterroot and Blackfoot rivers remain largely unfishable. The season opened Thursday amid flood conditions, dampening expected openings.
