A slight chance of showers between 4pm and 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 48. Breezy, with a southwest wind 9 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
With the melting snow hitting the creeks, fishing is all about managing the melt. The problem is cold water entering the system from snowmelt. Things aren’t too muddy out there as the majority of creeks are in good, fishable shape. But once the cold water hits, things shut down rapidly. Remember to use your thermometer and watch for temperature drops in the afternoon.
Cloudy days like today help to keep the sun from melting things too quickly!
Focus on fishing scuds, caddis larvae/pupae, and flashier bugs in the stained water. Midges and thin bodied bugs subsurface in the clearer water. Hatches remain sparse, with a few sightings of blue winged olives.

Sunny, with a high near 37. Northwest wind 9 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
We received a bit of rain, plus about 1-2 inches of snow area wide yesterday. Things are a bit messy on the roads this morning. Be very careful if you are driving.
Fishing will be ok throughout the next couple of days until this snow starts to melt. Once the melt hits the water and cools it down, fishing will slow down or shut off completely. Make sure to use your thermometer.
If it will muddy things up is still up in the air. Since the ground has been so dry, we are hoping that most of the slow melting snow will soak in and not make things muddy. If it warms up too quickly, then we will have iced chocolate.
Watch here and on social media for updates on conditions!

Snow, possibly mixed with rain and sleet, becoming all snow after 4pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Widespread blowing snow, mainly between 3pm and 5pm. Steady temperature around 34. Breezy, with a north wind around 22 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
Ugly weather today. We’re not expecting things to stay messy for too long.
The fishing can be pretty good out there with the warmer early season we have. Guides are available the next few days and into early next week. Call the shop to booK!

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Breezy, with an east wind 7 to 16 mph.
Decent conditions today, but it is blowing in a one day storm tomorrow.
Creeks are clear and low with temperatures in the low to mid 40s area wide.
Hatches remain sparse, although we have seen a few more olives on the sunnier and calmer days.
The best fishing remains subsurface on scuds, leeches, and bright flashy things.

A 30 percent chance of showers, mainly before noon. Mostly cloudy, with a temperature falling to around 38 by 5pm. Breezy, with a west wind 13 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph.
We received about 1/4 of an inch of rain last night leaving our creeks clear to slightly stained. Most of the rain soaked into the ground so there is little to no worry about muddy conditions out there.
Leeches and scuds remain the best producing patterns out there, as well as some caddis larvae and other thicker bodied patterns.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 65. Light southeast wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the low to mid 40s. Things are still very low.
Hatches remain very sparse with a few midges sticking around and a couple of reports of an olive hatch in the afternoon. Most of the activity remains subsurface on shiny nymphs, leeches, and scuds.

Sunny, with a high near 57. Southeast wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the afternoon.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained with water temperatures right around the mid 40s area wide.
Fish are starting to feed fairly early once the sun hits the water. We are seeing hatches, especially in the early afternoon of midges and a few olives. Otherwise we are fishing subsurface with scuds, leeches, and thin bodied nymphs with a bit of flash.

Sunny, with a high near 48. Northeast wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
Creeks are a bit low and clear to slightly stained with temperatures in the low to mid 40s.
We have seen some hatches of olives with the warm weather the past couple of days!
Overall, fishing has been best subsurface on small, sparse leech patterns, scuds, and dark bead heads with some flash. The entire week ahead looks sunny and mostly clear, so approach the creeks with some stealth and look for fish to be concentrated in pockets, pools and other shady spots until the hatches come off and they move into the riffles.

Sunny, with a high near 69. Breezy, with a southwest wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 31 mph.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the high 30s to low 40s. The hot weather today will get rid of the remaining snow. There is not enough to really mess up the fishing, but continue to check water temperatures, especially in the afternoon. If things are cooling down water temp wise, it is probably time to call it quits on that creek.
We’re still seeing our winter bugs (midges, a few winter stoneflies), but we are transitioning into spring flies (spring stones, BWOs). Subsurface fishing is still the best with trout eating leeches, scuds, and darker bodied nymphs very well all day long.

Sunny, with a high near 48. West wind 8 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the high 30s to 40 degrees. Most of our snow is gone leaving our creeks low. We still need precipitation, but fishing has slowly stated to pick up a bit with the warmup. Hatches are still sparse, but midge hatches are out there on most of the creeks mid day.
The most effective fishing is rolling a scud or slowly twitching a leech below the riffles.
