August 13th Fishing Report

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly between 2pm and 5pm. High near 77. Calm wind becoming east 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms

The forecast says it all.  Cooler and clouds/drizzle through the weekend.  If this weather holds, fishing will be summer good!

Tricos early (if it isn’t too humid or drizzle) then hopper/dropper through the day.  With the clouds, fish a small scud or leech too!  This is about as good as you can get for a summer morning trout fishing forecast.  We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the clouds stick around.

August 10th Fishing Report

Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 85. Calm wind.

Creeks are clear and a bit low with temperatures in the high 50s to mid 60s.  Only the larger creeks start the day over 65 degrees.

The week ahead cools down slightly, and some cloud cover forecasted mid week.  All in all, a pretty solid summer trout fishing forecast!  Remember that it is still summertime.  The best fishing is in the mornings when the water temperatures are the coolest, and usually shuts down mid day (you can extend the day if clouds stay overhead and water temperatures do not climb too much).

Trico spinners are present on many creeks in the mornings, then switching to the summertime staple of a grasshopper with a bead head below (think thin bodied bugs like a zebra or P&O).

August 8th Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 81. Northwest wind 3 to 6 mph.

Very pleasant weekend ahead.  Followed by a cloudy, drizzly and cooler week next week!  Great summer conditions.

Fishing is still pretty much limited to the mornings right now.  While water temperatures on many creeks are in good shape, the sunlight slows things down a bit mid day.

Watch for trico spinners in the mornings, then fish a hopper with a dropper during the rest of the day.  If the clouds stay overhead, things can fish well all day long!

August 7th Fishing Report

A slight chance of showers between 3pm and 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 82. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Cloudy and hopefully drizzly weekend ahead

Creeks have been resilient keeping decent water temperatures for the morning fishing!  We are seeing tricos early in the mornings, then catching fish on small hoppers and beetles (try a large sized ground beetle right now!) with droppers after the spinner fall subsides.

As it typical here in the summertime, things shut down right before lunch time.  If there is cloud cover, things can hold on through mid day though.  Later in the evenings, the last hour or so of daylight, can be a good time right now too.  Just make sure to check water temperatures and fish creeks that are below 65 degrees.

Week or July 27th Report

Hot and sunny early in the week, but overnight temps aren’t really all that bad!  Early, early morning fishing will be ok until the sun hits the water, then things will shut down quickly.

The weekend is looking positive with decent temperatures, and maybe a little bit of rain and cloud cover Friday and Saturday.

The normal summer fishing schedule is on us.  Possibility for tricos in the mornings, then small hopper or beetle with a bead head below until mid day.  Keep checking water temperatures, as anything over 65 will be slow fishing and potentially harmful to trout.

NOTE:  Shop is open 10-4 Monday through Saturday.  Sunday August 2 and Monday August 3rd we will be closed.

July 24th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 80. South wind 5 to 8 mph.  Creeks are clear and most are starting the day right around 60 degrees.

This is the last milder summer day for a while!  Pleasant temperatures, and some happy fish in the mornings.  Over the weekend things heat up again with air temperatures hitting about 90 Saturday and Sunday.

We are forecasted for some clouds Saturday morning, so get out there early and keep checking water temps!

Sparse Tricos early in the morning before the sun hits the water, then fishing a hopper with a dropper all day long.  We have also had some success on larger bugs drifted underneath undercut banks (knotty hooker pattern specifically)

July 23rd Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon.

Another fairly pleasant day today!  Watch for some tricos in the morning, then switch to a hopper or beetle with a dropper when fish are not rising.

Nothing super exciting to report conditions wise, but take advantage of the weather the rest of the week as the weekend heats back up with air temperatures in the 90s.

July 22nd Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 73. North wind 3 to 6 mph.

It actually feels cool out there this morning!

Great weather for the next few days, unfortunately warming up again on the weekend.

Sparse trico spinner falls in the mornings, then fishing beetles, small hoppers, or training wheels with a bead head below all day.

July 21st Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Northwest wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

The good news is that overnight lows will be in the low to mid 50s the rest of the week!

We’re still coming off the heat wave week, and things are slowly bouncing back water temperature wise.  In the mornings, we are finding creeks in the high 50s temperature wise (mostly upper sections or creeks with heavy spring influence).

Chubby Chernobyls or Mr. Sparkle with a Pearl Jam or TZM below have been excellent for prospecting all morning long.  There is a sparse trio spinner fall, not nothing to get too excited about yet.
