August 12th Fishing Report
Showers, mainly before 2pm. High near 67. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.Clouds and drizzle through the day and into tomorrow. The temperatures are not awful and fishing will continue to be quite good out there! It has been mild enough that we are not freaking out about water temperatures right now. It is still a good idea to check them throughout the day (remember anything over 65 will be slow fishing).
Overall creeks are clear to slightly stained with temperatures in the low 60s.
True hatches are sparse with a few tricos in the mornings, and lighter colored mayflies and some egg laying caddis in the evenings. The main food source is terrestrials!
Throwing and ant or beetle in the mornings, then switching to hoppers when the dew is off the grass can be a ton of fun right now. We have had fish racing to crush a well splatted terrestrial on the surface all week long!
