June 10th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. West wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Borderline hot here today and tomorrow as a brief warm front rolls in.
Overall the creeks remain in great shape with water temps in the mid to high 50s. They are also still crystal clear which means spooky fish. Approach the creeks with as much stealth as possible.
Fish are feeding on beetles with droppers throughout the day, Mid day on warm and sunny days like today we will see some caddis hatching. The evening is still giving us lighter colored mayfly hatches, usually the last two hours of the day.
When the sun is out and it is warmer out there, either chase the shady sections of creeks, or concentrate on fishing the riffles and broken water where fish are less exposed.

June 9th Fishing Report

Showers likely before 11am, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 11am and 4pm, then a chance of showers after 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 65. West wind 8 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
What a weekend! After a ton of fun at the Drive In show on Friday, and cloud cover and drizzle on and off, the fishing was solid all weekend long.
With some cloud cover and continued cooler weather the next few days, trout will be very happy.
Sulphurs and caddis are the main menu items right now. We’re fishing a caddis with an emerger behind it all day long, switching to some lighter body colored mayflies in the evenings.
Subsurface fishing has been great on pretty much everything again thanks to the lack of bright sun.

June 4th Fishing Report

Areas of smoke before 1pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 75. North wind 3 to 6 mph.
The area received about 3/4 to an inch and a half of rain in the past 24 hours. Most creeks were not changed at all, with only a couple getting a bit stained. As of this morning everything is mostly clear to stained!
The sun continues to be the limiting factor on our low and clear creeks. Fish early, fish late, and find shade to find the happiest fish.
We are seeing lighter colored mayflies hatch the last couple hours of the day, and a few caddis in the afternoon. Through most of the day fishing an edible indicator (terrestrial, hippie stomper etc) with a bead head below in the riffles and runs will catch fish when they are not rising

June 3rd Fishing Report

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Temperature falling to around 64 by 5pm. Breezy, with a south wind 11 to 16 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
It’s unfortunate, but the rains look like they will only drop a little bit on us again. Our creeks remain very low and clear. Thankfully, the cooler weather ahead means fishing will continue to stay solid! Days with a bit more cloud cover are better than bright and sunny days.
Fish with as much stealth as possible (have you seen the new clear tip lines from SA?!?!).
Lighter colored mayflies are hatching in the evening, and a few caddis are popping mid day along with craneflies.

June 2nd Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 84. South wind 7 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.
Warm and sunny today. Tomorrow is calling for some (much needed) rain then a cool down for the rest of the week. Excellent, and trout friendly conditions for fishing and for the Drive In Fly Fishing Show and Casting Carnival!
Creeks are low and clear with temps in the higher 50s. Nothing special today, it will be hot so concentrate on fishing early and late and take a break mid day. A few fish rising to spinners first thing in the morning, then we are switching to beetles with a dropper, then in the evening, watch for the sulphur and Cahill mayflies as they are hatching around the last 2 hours of the day.
Subsurface fishing is best on thin bodied bugs right now. Perdigons, pheasant tails, zebra midges etc.
We have had reports that mousing is picking up!

May 29th Fishing Report

Isolated showers between 2pm and 4pm, then scattered showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 69. Northwest wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Creeks are clear and still low with temperatures in the middle to high 50s. Excellent conditions overall. The cloud cover has given us a break from crazy spooky fish. The low water still has them on edge, but a little less so when the sun is blocked.
. Caddis, Craneflies, sulphurs, cahills, and a bunch of random bugs are hatching right now! Have a few light and dark body colored mayfly patterns for surface eating fish as you never know which hatch you will run into.
If fish are not rising, a beetle with a dropper is excellent.

May 28th Fishing Report

Showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 1pm. High near 63. Northeast wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the high 50s. Incredible conditions again today to chase trout!
With the cloud cover, fish have been much happier out there and the reports from yesterday were fantastic. Fishing a larger beetle or hippie stomper with a thick bodied bead head or scud below was catching fish all day long! When there was insect activity, swinging soft hackles or micro leeches, then switching to a purple parachute and twitching it was the ticket. This should all remain the same today.

May 27th Fishing Report

A 30 percent chance of showers after 3pm. Cloudy, with a high near 66. Northeast wind 3 to 8 mph.
. Cool and cloudy through Thursday morning. GO FISH!!!
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures remaining in the mid to high 50s. With the cloud cover and drizzle the next few days trout should be in an incredible mood and feeding well. These are the days we are always waiting for!
With the cloud cover, fish a bit larger and thicker pattern subsurface (scuds are especially good with clouds in the sky!)
On the surface, expect a few more mayflies (dark in the mornings, light colors in the evenings) with a handful of caddis.
Bigger terrestrial/attractor patterns can be a ton of fun right now too.
Streamers and leeches are always more effective when the sun is off the water.

May 24th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 65. Light northeast wind.
Sunny weekend ahead. Fish early and late and find some shade for better fishing.
Creeks are very clear and still low. Trout are extremely spooky.
We are seeing caddis, midges, craneflies, lighter colored mayflies, and beetles and ants are catching fish up top.
Subsurface fishing has been best on thinner bodied nymphs with a bit of flash.
Leeches and streamers are working when the sun is off the water, and we are getting reports of decent night time mousing out there too!

May 23rd Fishing Report

Increasing clouds, with a high near 63. North wind 5 to 8 mph.
Partly cloudy all weekend. Sunday will get a bit warm, but nothing too bad for this time of year.
Overall creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the high 50s. With the clear water and some sun in the sky, fish are far spookier than normal. When the clouds come over, they calm down and are much more friendly.
Caddis are still the main item on the menu with fish rising to them most of the day. If the clouds stay overhead in the afternoon and evening we are seeing some Sulphurs and other mayflies. Nothing we would call a hatch yet, but they are becoming noticeable.
Terrestrials are more and more effective every day. It is the start of the beetle and foam attractor hatch! Fishing a beetle, or a hippie stomper/ chubby Chernobyl with a bead head below is a go to now and throughout the rest of the season.
