September 4th Fishing Report
Increasing clouds, with a high near 64. Light west wind becoming southwest 6 to 11 mph in the morning.
With very little rain in the past 24 hours, creeks remain clear to slightly stained. Thanks to some cool late summer temperatures, the water temps are pretty solid everywhere right now too!
We’re seeing a shift away from Tricos in the morning, to more hatches in the afternoon and evening. They are not strong, and they are not everywhere, but some caddis and some smaller light olive mayflies are appearing on creeks.
The fishing day starts by nymphing or dead drifting a leech early in the day. As things warm up a bit we switch to a hopper or beetle with a dropper (or just continue fishing subsurface!), and the day wraps up, hopefully, with some fish rising in the early evening.
Most trout are tucked into the riffles and pockets and down into the dropoff into the pool. Fishing those areas along with undercut banks with a visible current pushing into them have been effective lately.
