Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 11am. High near 80. South wind 8 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Back to normal later summer weather.  While still not the late season conditions we are waiting for, the fishing should be solid in the mornings, as well as throughout the day if clouds are overhead.

Tricos aren’t really around lately and things are still too warm to see other mayflies hatching.  We’re prospecting with a beetle, training wheel, or hopper with a bead head below (pearl jam, Dr. Fauci, flashigon etc).  On cloudier days a micro leech below the big foam fly can work well too!

Showers and thunderstorms likely before 1pm, then a slight chance of showers between 1pm and 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 87. Southwest wind 7 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

The clouds and light rain have turned things around here!  After some brutal hot and sunny days, the cloud cover has been a saving grace.  It still isn’t perfect, but when the sun is off the water, the fishing is much better.

Purple drank, quill jigs, and rain drops are all great dropper below a beetle right now.

A little over half an inch of rain has some slight stain on one or two creeks, but we have not encountered anything blown out.  Creeks remain clear to slightly stained with fishable water temps on all but the bigger creeks.

Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 4pm. High near 86. South wind 5 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Scattered rain this morning is more than welcome!  We have received just under 1/4 of an inch of rain in the past 24 hours.  This is not enough to change the clarity of the creeks, but it is a great start to cooling things down for the weekend.  Today and tomorrow are still hot, but Saturday is much more mild and the overnight temperatures over the holiday weekend are much more trout friendly.

Cloudy skies are our friend.  If the clouds stay overhead, fishing will remain decent.  It is still summertime, so make sure to check water temperatures, and focus on subsurface fishing.  When the clouds are out, and the ground stays damp, terrestrials do not move around as much and trout aren’t looking out for them necessarily.

Use scuds, micro leeches, perdigons, and even worm patterns under the clouds and drizzle.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms before 10am, then a slight chance of showers between 10am and noon. Cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 88. Light and variable wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Waking up to 99% humidity is rough!

We’re in a warm spell right now, but are starting to see some rain rolling in.  A few storms hitting north of the shop this morning, and predicted showers on and off the next couple of days.  The smaller creeks have been resilient to the heat this time and fishing has been better than expected, but only when the sun is off the water.  Keep focused on cloudy days and fishing very early and very late.

Looking ahead, If we get the clouds the fishing will improve.  If not, it is looking like Sunday starts a string of normal to cooler weather!

A 20 percent chance of showers after 1pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 91. Heat index values as high as 97. Southwest wind around 8 mph.

The dog days of summer have returned.  Hot and humid pretty much all week long this week.  While there will be some trout fishing early in the morning, this would be a good week to chase bass or panfish instead!

Sunny, with a high near 84. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.

Very vanilla day weather wise today.  Again, the bright sun will slow things down earlier in the morning than we would like.

However….  Saturday and Sunday we are looking at some cloud cover and drizzle!  This should help the fishing out quite a bit.  While the match the hatch dry fly fishing will slow down if it rains, the beetle or hopper/dropper fishing will be quite good, as well fishing small leeches.

Water temps are great on almost every creek except the larger area streams.  Fishing is still best in the mornings, but it can be stretched out a bit longer if clouds stay in the sky.

Too sunny.

Weather is actually quite pleasant for the summertime, but low and clear water with bright, sunny skies is making it extremely rough out there.

We’re looking forward to the clouds this weekend!

A 20 percent chance of showers after 3pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 80. Northwest wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.

Solid summer weather out there.  It’s still summer which means fishing super early, before the creeks warm up and the sun shines brightly on the water, but temperatures have been very good for this time of year.

Watch for some spinners early, then fish a ground beetle with a bead head of some sort below it.  Don’t neglect a micro leech as a dropper.  Fish have seen thousands of perdigons, changing the dropper up just a bit can make a big difference.
