May 1st Fishing Report
Increasing clouds, with a high near 65. Breezy, with a west wind 10 to 15 mph increasing to 16 to 21 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph.Creeks are clear to slightly stained and still a bit low. We have had some gentle rains recently and our creeks are clawing their way out of a drought thanks to some precipitation. Tomorrow we are due for some more light showers. The rains in our area have not been heavy enough to muddy things up. Our ground is still very dry and most of the moisture is soaking in.
Caddis are around pretty much daily, while some olives are showing up when there are clouds in the sky. Watch for rising fish mid day. Our guides have started to have success on beetles and ants. Fishing an indicator foam pattern and a bead head below (dry dropper) has been fantastic as a searching rig. Otherwise, bead heads with a bit of flash rolled in and below the riffles or small leeches and minnows twitched slowly near structure have been effective.
