August 11th Fishing Report
Sunny, with a high near 78. Northeast wind 3 to 5 mph.Creeks are clear to stained with temps in the low 60s. This has been an excellent summer for trout conditions!
In the midsummer, the timing of good fishing can change a bit. If you are out there too early and the tricos do not show up, fishing is slower until the sun shows up and the winds start to blow a bit. While this might seem to go against everything trout brained at first, remember that the main food item on the surface right now is terrestrials. Early morning dew on the grass and chillier temperatures mean they are not moving around as much. They need a bit drier land and wind to blow them into the creeks!
Nymphing continues to be good all day long. Thinner bodied bugs like zebra midges, spanish bullets and perdigons are excellent, as are the old standby brush hogs and purple drink.
