A slight chance of flurries before 9am. Cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 42. South wind 5 to 9 mph.
Creeks are extremely low and clear, temperatures are in the high 30s.
Today and tomorrow are melting days. There is still VERY little snow on the ground (we are concerned about water levels if we do not get more precipitation) but enough to melt and cool the creeks down over the next day or two.
The hatches have been very sparse, but after potential cold and murky water, the rest of the week should fish well subsurface, and if the water temps climb enough we could see some olives hatching mid day.
SHOP WILL BE OPEN ALL WEEK STARTING TUESDAY FROM 10-2

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 6. Wind chill values as low as -19. Northwest wind 8 to 11 mph.
Cold, cold cold. It is not worth fishing right now. Things look to warm up a bit early next week with a potential melting day after the weekend. As we get a more clear picture we will let you know what’s going on, but for now, stay warm and tie flies as the wind chills are brutal and fishing is not good.

Up to 5 inches of snow forecasted today and into tomorrow. The shop might not be open Saturday depending on how much snow we get.

The creeks are extremely low and clear. There is about half an inch of snow on the ground, not nearly enough for this time of year!

We will update you on the precipitation this weekend, pray for a lot of snow so we can refresh our springs and get the water levels up!

Snow, mainly before 2pm. High near 28. East wind 6 to 9 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
Creeks are very low and clear. Water temps are in the mid to higher 30s.
Overall fishing is slow and spotty. While it is nice to get outside for a bit, it probably isn’t worth much of a drive.

There is still no snow on the ground, but there are some days this coming week that we might actually get some precipitation!

Partly sunny, with a high near 17. Wind chill values as low as -9. North wind 6 to 10 mph.
The entire week will be cold and windy. Shop is only open on Saturday this week.
Water is extremely low and clear, and we have yet to receive any snow.
Water temps are in the lower to mid 30s and mid day hatches are sparse. Even with the warmer weather last week fishing has not been great lately.

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. Northwest wind 5 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.
A good ice melting day yesterday, and no snow on the banks means we will have quite a bit more open water to fish the next few days.
Temperature wise, we are looking at 40-50 degrees the next couple of days, fantastic weather to get out there and fish.
It is still winter fishing though, and while it is pleasant outside, the fishing is still slow.
Watch for midge hatches mid day, otherwise fishing small, dark bodied nymphs deep as well as leeches and scuds is key.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 47. Breezy, with a southwest wind 11 to 16 mph becoming south 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 44 mph.
The unseasonably warm week rolls on. We’re looking at temperatures around 40-50 through Friday. While it is still winter fishing, it will be a good week to take a day off and enjoy being outside.
The shelf ice on the creeks is slowly melting away, and we have zero snow on the banks (which is not good long term, but helps a lot right now in getting around easily!)
Creeks are still chilly, so focus your fishing mid day. Midges (potential hatch mid day), leeches and scuds are all effective right now.

Unseasonably warm weather, plus no snow on the banks means we have some decent winter fly fishing conditions all week long (even with the wind…). It is still unpredictable winter fishing, but it will be so nice to get outside and hit the creeks this week.

A 40 percent chance of snow, mainly after 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 21. Wind chill values as low as -14. South wind 7 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Most creeks are pretty locked up with shelf ice still. The warming over the next few days should open things up, and within a couple of days we should see some hatches and feeding fish again!
Creeks are very low and clear, and fish are very spooky. Approach with stealth!
Midges are hatching mid day, but your best bet is a small leech or bead head fished deep in the pools or below the riffles mid day.

We will be open Saturday from 10-2 for you! Lots of new stuff, and cold weather clothing is in this week.

Coming out of a bitter, brutal cold spell with temperatures still cold to chilly until the weekend. Add to that some nice wind, and we have conditions that should encourage you to stay inside…

Saturday the high is 30 degrees, and even though there is some wind, we are calling it a mental health day. Not necessarily worth it to drive far to come here and fish, but if you are nearby or going crazy, it could be a decent day for fly fishing the winter season.

We still have little to no snow on the ground, so getting around is easy, and we do not have to worry about afternoon melting on the sunnier days slowing fishing down. While this will be a problem longer term (the lack of snow), it is good to take advantage of now.
