September 23rd Fishing Report

Areas of fog before 10am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 73. Northeast wind 5 to 7 mph.
Rains were odd yesterday, with some areas getting up to 3 inches and other only a quarter of an inch. Overall to the east of the shop was the least amount of rain while directly north and south got quite a bit more.

Expect to find some murky water in some areas (fish worm patterns and leeches!) which will be much easier fishing overall than the clear water areas! Chase the stained water for the best possible fishing.

On the clear creeks, nymphing will be key until the ground dries up a bit and the terrestrials get moving again. Once that happens, a hopper/dropper will suffice.

Watch for olives hatching early and late in the day. We have seen some pretty consistent surface feeding on many of our creeks thanks to the fall olives along with a smattering of caddis and craneflies.
