March 3rd Fishing Report
Mostly sunny, with a high near 46. Northwest wind 5 to 8 mph.So far, the melt has been perfect. It has not dumped muddy water into the system. Instead we are getting a slow trickle of melting snow that will cool things down in the later afternoon and slow fishing down. At night it has been able to freeze back up. This means creeks are clear and temperatures in the high 30s in the morning into almost the mid 40s mid day!
Watch for midges and winter stoneflies to hatch mid day as well as some possible olives.
Deep nymphing with a spanish bullet, purple drank, or scud will catch fish all day. Larger fish are still responding positively to streamers and leeches too!
