May 20th Fishing Report
Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 2pm. High near 73. Southeast wind 8 to 10 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.Some mild to light rain area wide overnight and stretching into today. Some of these storm cells (especially on Tuesday) might finally open up the skies and give us a small flush of the creeks. As of now, it has been a steady, soaking rain which is still excellent news!
We will keep you updated on the status of the creeks, but as of this morning things are quite good with the creeks flowing clear to stained.
Yesterday we saw some excellent success on large beetles and ants. If you watch the ground around you you might notice flying ants and some large beetles crawling around (no, not cicadas). Using a foam indicator beetle with a dropper is an excellent way to catch fish right now!
Hatches are a little sparse, but we are still seeing caddis and cranes, and starting to spot some lighter colored mayflies in the evenings (Cahills).
