A chance of rain, snow, and freezing rain before noon, then a slight chance of rain between noon and 2pm. Cloudy, with a high near 41. Calm wind becoming northeast 5 to 9 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
There is still some snow on the banks. It is melting slowly again meaning fishing is decent until the melt hits the creeks and drops the water temperatures.
Tomorrow will be warmer and sunnier and should get rid of most of the snow on the banks again! We will keep you posted on clarity etc, but we’re thinking it should not mess the creeks up much.
As odd as it sounds, the warmer weather and sun is helpful in the winter. As the creeks warm up the bugs get active and the fishing gets better.
Fish are eating midges on the surface mid day, and eating leeches and bead heads throughout the day. We have started to catch fish on foam patterns typically in darker body colors (the spring stoneflies are beginning to make an appearance).
Creeks are clear with temperatures in the low 40s.

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 39. Calm wind.
It snowed a few inches yesterday. It should not be enough to make things messy, but we do still have to watch water temperatures in the later part of the day as snowmelt enters the creeks again. We do not expect this snow to last too long.
Midges and winter stones are still around, and we should see olives again once it warms up. Fishing leeches early, dry/dropper later in the morning, then switching to match the hatch if you find rising fish is the rhythm right now.

Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 34. Breezy, with an east wind 16 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
Creeks are in great shape as we avoided any runoff. Today’s snow should not do much at all to mess up the fishing (outside of the winds today!).
MIdges and winter stoneflies are still the main item on the menu. There are fish rising daily and many are even eating foam flies on the surface! We have been fishing a hippie stomper or training wheel in a darker body color with good success.

Sunny, with a high near 46. Northwest wind around 6 mph.
Sunny and mild again tomorrow then a storm starts to roll in Sunday evening.
Creeks are clear and flowing a touch low with temperatures in the low 40s. Midges are hatching well, and some winter stoneflies are around too. Olives are expected to show up at anytime now that most of the snow is gone and water temperatures are starting to stabilize a bit.
You can fish a bit earlier and a bit later in the day now too since ‘runoff’ is mostly done.
Fish are a bit spooky with the clear water and clear sky, so approach your spots with stealth and caution!
Try a hippie stomper with a purple drank or scud tied below it. You will be surprised at the fish hitting the larger foam dry right now!
Subsurface fishing has been good on pretty much anything. Fish leeches and streamers early, then as things warm up a bit switch to nymphing below the riffles.

Mostly cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 49. Breezy, with a west wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Creeks muddied up a bit yesterday with the rain and hot temperatures. With the cooling of temperatures muddy snowmelt should no longer be an issue.
Fishing has still be solid in the mornings into the afternoon with things slowing down as temperatures drop int he later afternoon. With most of the snow gone, the window of opportunity opens a bit more past mid day as snowmelt becomes less of a factor in changing the water temperatures.
Midges and winter stoneflies are still hatching and fish are rising throughout the day on some of our creeks.
Subsurface fishing has broken wide open with fish still eating the thin bodied bugs, but also switching to scuds and thicker bodied patterns too!
Leeches and streamers have been quite good, especially in the lower sections of creeks.

Showers likely, with thunderstorms also possible after 4pm. Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, cloudy, with a high near 64. Breezy, with a south wind 11 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
It has drizzled this morning, nothing too horrible, but with the warmer temperatures and this light rain we might see some mud later today.
So far, the creeks have held up perfectly. Clear to a very slight stain area wide. Temperatures are in the low 40s and fish couldn’t be happier. We are still running into the situation of having cold snowmelt slow things down in the afternoons. Get out there 8-9ish!
Stoneflies and midges are still the main menu item both surface and subsurface, however fish are starting to eat thicker bodied bugs and chasing larger streamers too. The oddball bug is the chubby chernobyl and hippie stomper. These larger foam patterns should not be working this early, but the fish are eating them very well the past couple of days!

Mostly sunny, with a high near 64. Breezy, with a south wind 9 to 14 mph increasing to 16 to 21 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 32 mph.
Yesterday the creeks were spared from muddy water. Area wide, there was not enough melt to blow things out and most creeks are crystal clear.
With the heat today and the potential rain tomorrow things have a chance at muddying up a bit. We will keep you posted.
In the meantime, fishing was quite good yesterday! Fish were rising early and continuing to feed on the surface until mid afternoon. Midges and winter stoneflies were everywhere along with the random BWO.
Nick had his client catching fish on a size 12 training wheel!
Subsurface fishing is trending towards more thick bodied patterns such as scuds and pink squirrels. While the small thin bodied patterns are less popular, they are still essential on the clear and slow flowing areas.

Sunny, with a high near 58. Northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the afternoon.
Creeks are clear and flowing well with temperatures in the low 40s. So far the snow has not impacted the clarity of the creeks, but it is still dropping water temperatures in the afternoon slowing fishing down.
It is warm enough today to potentially see some significant snowmelt of the shaded areas and north facing slopes. This could muddy things up. We will keep you updated.
Fish are very happy as the water temperature is rising. Feeding on midges and winter stoneflies on the surface and scuds, mayfly nymphs, and leeches subsurface. They are in a great mood until the water temperature starts to drop, then the fishing slows down to shuts down completely. In the later afternoon you can still get some fish to eat fishing a larger leech pattern to get their attention, but the window for good winter fishing is 10-2.

Sunny, with a high near 44. Light and variable wind.
So far we have been fortunate in that the melting has been a trickle and our creeks are still running clear. Snowmelt is hitting earlier each day and while not enough to muddy things up yet, it is cooling the water down and slowing fishing day just after mid day right now.
The majority of our snow is on the north facing slopes and shaded areas. As we hit 50 plus degrees the next few days (without re-freezing at night), we will see some significant melting and probably muddy water. This will not last long at all, just be careful over the next few days as conditions will change rapidly.

Partly sunny, with a high near 43. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.
Creeks remain mostly clear. It still has not been hot enough to melt a bunch of snow and turn things muddy. The fishing has started a bit earlier, and slowed down after mid day as the melting that is happening hits around 1 and slows the fishing down noticeably.
Overall water temperatures start in the high 30s then can get up to the mid 40s mid day.
Winter stonelifes, midges, and even a few blue winged olives are showing up daily with fish rising late morning into the afternoon on some creeks.
Subsurface fishing has been great on scuds, spanish bullets, and purple drank.
Small streamers and leeches have also been quite good!
