Fishing Report

Regular morning hours tomorrow (Saturday) and Monday starts 7 days a week for the shop being open!

A 20 percent chance of rain after 5pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 41. Breezy, with a south wind 10 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
This weather has been just about perfect for fishing. It isn’t getting warm enough to melt the snow and make things muddy and icy and the overnight temperatures are cold enough to lock snow melt back up.
You still have to fish before the melt hits the creeks. Rising water temperatures are perfect this time of year (and they have been hitting the magic 40 degree mark the past couple of days on some creeks) but once the snow starts to trickle in and drop temperatures, things shut down quickly.
There are some hatches of midges and winter stoneflies daily. It might take some time to find pods of rising fish, but they are out there.
More consistently, fishing heavy nymphs and scuds or leeches is catching fish.

A chance of drizzle and snow before 11am, then a slight chance of snow between 11am and noon. Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 37. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
The last two days we have seen some snow melting. The creeks are not muddy, however make sure you watch water temperature, when enough snowmelt hits the creeks and drops the water temperature, fishing shuts down!
Midges and winter stoneflies are hatching pretty much daily at this point. They aren’t thick everywhere, but make sure you have some good dry patterns ready just in case.
Most trout are eating subsurface on spanish bullets, ice cream cones, and other heavily weighted nymphs. Leeches and smaller streamers twitched through the holes are also working incredibly well right now.

Partly sunny, with a high near 11. Wind chill values as low as -9. Calm wind becoming northwest 5 to 7 mph in the morning.
Cold string continues all week long. Fishing is not recommended and can actually be harmful to trout (not to mention you and your gear!).

How winter weather impacts trout.

A slight chance of snow between 2pm and 3pm. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near 4. Wind chill values as low as -16. West wind 9 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Tonight Partly cloudy, with a low around -16. Wind chill values as low as -31. Northwest wind 7 to 11 mph.

Sunday Mostly sunny and cold, with a high near 1. Wind chill values as low as -31. Northwest wind 6 to 8 mph.

Sunday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around -9. Northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening.

Monday A 20 percent chance of snow after noon. Partly sunny, with a high near 6. Calm wind becoming north around 6 mph in the afternoon.

-10, -18, 1. These are temperatures during the next few days with windchill. Don’t go fishing.

We are not going to open the shop this Saturday, please call or e-mail with any questions etc.

Stay warm and safe!

Snow, mainly before 5pm. Patchy blowing snow after 3pm. Temperature falling to around 22 by 5pm. Breezy, with a south wind 9 to 14 mph becoming northwest 17 to 22 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.
Cold cold weather following today. No fishing to be had.

Partly sunny, with a high near 30. South wind 6 to 14 mph.
Go, go, go go!!! Today is another nice and sunny day which should give us some good fishing! Watch for fish rising to midges and winter stoneflies in the afternoon, and fish heavy nymphs and leeches all day.
Thursday is a winter storm and potential blizzard, then temperatures crash going into the weekend (Sunday’s high is -2).

This is the last day for a while to get outside and fish the early season.

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 31. North wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the afternoon.
Although the sun won’t show up today, fishing should still be good. We’re eyeballing tomorrow’s sunny forecast as one of those days where it will be almost necessary to call in sick and go fishing!
Midges and winter stone flies are around daily, we should see more hatching today and tomorrow with the warmer water and air temps. While still not a crazy good hatch, a sunny day can make for some fun dry fly fishing.
Most of your action will be subsurface on thin, heavy nymphs and leeches.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the mid to high 30s.
