April 30th Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 54. Light west wind becoming northwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 18 mph.
Nothing too crazy out there fishing wise.  Trout are still happily eating subsurface all day long.  Thinner bodied patterns early, then switching to thicker bodied bugs later in the day.
Mid day and into the afternoon we are getting some hatch activity.  Craneflies and caddis.  The gunch and front end loaders have been fishing quite well.
Heads up.  We are closing at 2:30 today.  Extended May hours start tomorrow.

April 29th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 55. Northwest wind 7 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the lower 50s.  Fish are eating subsurface on thin bodied bugs with a lot of flash and caddis pupae.  In the afternoons skittering some caddis or craneflies can be effective to get rising fish to eat.
Nothing super special about the week.  Fishing is solid, but keep in mind with the sunny weather and clearer water, trout are very spooky!

April 28th Fishing Report

Cloudy through mid morning, then becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 57. Breezy, with a northwest wind 10 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph.
We get a break from some rain, and the rollercoaster temperatures for a few days!  Stable weather all week long it looks like.
The rains yesterday were not heavy, nor did they put more than 1/4 of an inch into the system.  A light soaking rain that did nothing to the creeks.
Overall creeks are clear to slightly stained with water temperatures in the lower 50s.  We’re doing well on nightmare perdigons and zebra midges as well as a coulee scud below a beetle.  On the surface we are seeing a few caddis flies (mostly black) in the afternoons

April 27th Fishing Report

Showers and thunderstorms before 4pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm between 4pm and 5pm, then showers and thunderstorms likely after 5pm. High near 66. Breezy, with a southeast wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
. Creeks are clear to slightly stained with temperatures in  the low 50s.  We’re seeing a few caddis, both black and tan, but the majority of action is subsurface on caddis larvae, scuds, and thin bodied bugs.
There might be some rain coming through, and it is forecasted to be a pretty quick cell.  If it is heavy enough or lingers long enough we will let you know, but it doesn’t look like it will mess with fishing much.

Leeches and drank.  Scuds and squirrels.

Watch for black caddis on the surface (coulee caddis)
