A 20 percent chance of showers before 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 71. East wind 9 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained. The rains yesterday were not nearly enough to muddy anything up.
With the cloud cover, fish were responding better to mayfly patterns (film star) twitched in the smoother runs below the riffles as well as still eating caddis on the surface in the broken water of the riffles.
Subsurface fishing was decent on pretty much everything. Expect fish to respond well to leeches and streamers throughout the day today along with bead heads.

Showers likely, mainly before 11am. Cloudy, with a high near 72. Light east wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Caddis are still the top thing on the menu right now, with craneflies a close second. With the clouds, we should see more mayflies and midges hatching too. Remember, sipping rises are midges or mayflies and the splashy rises are caddis or cranes.

Subsurface fishing has been great in the riffles with pretty much anything. Clouds mean scuds. If you are no sure what to tie on, start with a scud if clouds are in the sky.

The dream weather should make the leech and streamer fishing much better this weekend too!

Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Light southeast wind becoming south 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clear and a bit low. Temperatures are in the mid 50s.
Fishing has been very good early and late with a few hours mid day that are slow. This is simply due to the sun shining directly on the clear water. We’re seeing caddis and craneflies pretty much all day long, but the stronger hatch is later in the day. We’re also seeing midges and a few mayflies hatching especially in the evenings.
Do not be afraid to start fishing larger foam patterns with bead heads below! While they function mostly as a more natural indicator, fish are starting to eat the size 12 hippie stompers and training wheels (especially in yellow and orange!)

Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 72. Calm wind becoming southeast around 6 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clear with temperatures in the low to mid 50s.
We’re starting in the morning with a foam pattern and a bead head tied below. While dark bodied colors used to be the go to for the foam fly, yellow and orange are starting to pick up more and more trout.
Subsurface, a purple drank or euro squirrel can not be beat!
Through the day we are seeing caddis, craneflies, and a few olives hatching.

A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Cloudy, with a high near 61. Northeast wind 6 to 10 mph. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Some light rain came through the area early this morning, but it was only enough to barely wet the pavement. Overall our creeks are crystal clear and flowing a touch low for May. However, the fishing has been very good!
Caddis are hatching in the afternoons, and on cloud covered days we are still seeing some olives hatching too. The weather has been mild enough that we have not seen a major spike in water temperatures giving stability to stream conditions that should last through this week!
Subsurface fishing has been excellent on purple drank and scuds on cloudy days, then spanish bullets and purdygons when the sun peeks out. Most of your trout are feeding in the riffles and just below in the broken water until bugs hatch, then they will spread out into the runs and slower pools.

A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 70. South wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Creeks are in great shape, and the coming rains should do nothing to muddy them up unless we get a surprise heavy rain in a valley or two.
However, the season changes from catch and release to regular season on Saturday and it can be the busiest Saturday of the season.

Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower 50s. Northwest winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
Despite the wind, fishing has been very solid. When the wind is blowing, subsurface is your best bet. Fishing nymphs under an indicator or on a tight line is very effective.
Leeches dead drifted, twitched or slowly stripped work quite well too. Fishing a streamer or leech during windy weather is the least aggravating way to fish.
We did have olives hatching yesterday when we found sheltered pockets out of the wind. With the sun out today we should see more caddis hatching!

Cloudy, with a high near 48. Breezy, with a northwest wind 20 to 24 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph.
The wind will be blowing pretty heavily today and into tomorrow. Things mellow out quite a bit mid week.
Creeks are clear and flowing normal for this time of year. Water temps are in the low to mid 50s.
We’re still seeing a few olives hatching, especially on days with cloud cover. Caddis are becoming the more important hatch with both black and tan showing up on most of our creeks (sunny days are better). We’ve even started to see some craneflies and fish responding to them too!
Subsurface fishing has been great on purple drank and beadis. Any nymph with a soft hackle collar right now is effective. Trout are keying in on movement more than anything lately.

Showers likely, mainly after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 47. Northwest wind 6 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
If it weren’t for the wind, it would be just about a perfect fishing weekend. Creeks are clear with temperatures right around 50 degrees. Caddis and blue winged olives are hatching, and with the clouds in the sky, fish are less spooky than the past few days.
We’re starting the morning nymphing with either thicker bodied bead heads and scuds or slowly swimming leeches. Once fish start rising in the afternoon we are switching to dry fly mode. Twitching caddis in the riffles or casting tilt wing duns to sipping rises in the runs below the riffles.
