June 17th Fishing Report
Sunny, with a high near 84. South wind 6 to 14 mph.As we near summertime, the rhythm of fishing changes a bit. Fish early, fish late, and avoid the mid day heat. When the sun is off the water, the fishing is MUCH better right now. While we are still catching fish on hippie stompers with a bead head below throughout the mid day, the best fishing happens at first and last light.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained with temperatures in the high 50s to 60.
We're seeing sulphurs, cahills, a few caddis and craneflies as well as yellow sallies hatching. Simple parachutes in a dark color (brown/grey) and a lighter color (PMD or Cahill) covers most of what you will run into in the evening. Don't forget to twitch your flies!
Subsurface flies are all over the board. Having a few thin bodied flies and a few thick bodied bugs in your arsenal is key. Keep switching nymphs until the fish tell you what they want.
