Fishing Report

Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 77. Calm wind becoming east 5 to 7 mph in the morning.
Decent chilly mornings have the water temperature in good shape, it is not spiking except on some of the lower sections and ‘big’ creeks. However it is still very low and clear. We have not had any rain and the low water and weed growth (we need some rain to give the creeks a flush too!) have fishing difficult in some circumstances. Fish early and late to take advantage of the sun being off the water, and focus on riffle water and undercut banks.
We’re seeing hatches here and there of sulphurs, some darker bodied mayflies (parachute adams hatch) caddis, and cranes. When the fish are not rising we are fishing beetles with smaller bead heads below them. Larger foam bugs are getting refused mid day, so scale down a bit when the sun is on the water.

Widespread haze. Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. North wind 5 to 10 mph.
Creeks are still very low and clear, but with some cooler nights recently, temperatures are normal to good for this time of year!
Shade is still the limiting factor. The low, clear water is making fish very spooky. Make sure you fish early and late when the sun is off the water, and concentrate on undercut banks, any shade from vegetation and the broken riffle water during the day to find fish.
Its a bit of a mix of bugs right now with fish eating beetles, ants and small hoppers on the surface in the sunny conditions (tie on a bead head below!). In the evening they are eating some sulphurs, caddis and cranes along with the terrestrials. For fussy fish, try a film star, they have been great lately.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 84. Calm wind becoming northwest 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon.
While not oppressive heat, it is going to stay in the low to mid 80s the next few days with bright sun. It is essential to fish when the sun is off the water for your best shot at fish. Creeks are very low and clear. Temperatures are right around 60 with some of the lower sections and ‘bigger’ creeks hitting 65 plus. If you use your thermometer and find mid 60s, it is not a terrible idea to move upstream or to a different valley.
It’s terrestrial time, and a beetle with a dropper (ruby red purdygon!) is fantastic this time of season. Hatches are mostly in the evenings with lighter colored mayflies, caddis, and cranes getting some fish to rise.

Showers likely, mainly before noon. Cloudy, with a high near 74. Northwest wind 5 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Drizzle throughout the area last night, but nothing more than enough to knock down some dust. We are happy to take anything, but this rain will not help the low creeks.
Overall creeks are low and clear, but the temperatures are still holding on all but the larger creeks and lower sections.
Fish are eating indicator flies and beetles with a dropper when there is no surface activity. Concentrate on the riffles and undercut banks. WIth the clouds today fish may feel safer and move out into the thigh deep runs to feed today as well. Without the sun, the possibility of catching fish all day long is possible.
When fish are rising they are eating craneflies, egg laying caddis, and some lighter colored mayflies (Sulphurs, cahill, pmd).

A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 73. Northwest wind 5 to 14 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 very low and clear with temperatures in the high 50s to low 60s. Only the larger bodies of water are running over 65 degrees in the afternoon. The cool nights and mornings have really done the fishery wonders. While mid day fishing is still grind, the early and late hatch/spinner falls have been good to us! Watch for lighter colored mayflies, craneflies, and some egg laying caddis. Subsurface activity has been good on purdygons, purple drank and brush hogs.
If we get some cloud cover, the mid day fishing will be good on beetles and hippie stompers with a bead head below. If we do not get cloud cover, seriously consider a siesta and waiting for the evening to focus your fishing efforts.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 79. Calm wind becoming west around 6 mph in the morning.
We’re still waiting on any kind of rain. Thankfully the air temperatures have stabilized and it isn’t blazing hot anymore. Fishing is still solid very early and later in the day (siesta mid day!).
Creeks are very low and clear with temperatures in the high 50s to low 60s. We do have a couple of lower sections and larger creeks that are too warm to fish, so please use your thermometer and avoid anything at 65 or warmer.
We’re seeing quite a bit of bug activity with sulphurs, cahills, and isonychia mayflies hatching typically in the evening. There are some caddis and craneflies hanging still around too.
While the bugs can be abundant from time to time the trout just do not want to eat them with the clear water. So, a beetle with a bead head below does the trick. Remember to move those bugs as fish are keying in on the actively hatching and vulnerable stages of insects right now. A twitch can make the difference between a fish eating and ignoring your offering!

Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Light and variable wind becoming east around 6 mph in the morning.
Creeks are very low and clear with temperatures in the low 60s. This is abnormally high for this time of season, so make sure to use your thermometers as anything over 65 will be poor fishing.
Thankfully the oppressive heat has gone away. We still need some rain, but the fishing has picked up with the more normal temperatures. Mid day is still very difficult, but mornings on terrestrials and bead heads, and evenings on a mix of lighter colored mayflies (sullphurs, PMDs).
When in doubt, a hippie stomper with a bead head below will catch you some fish!

Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 76. Northeast wind 6 to 9 mph.
We get a break from the crushing heat with highs in the mid 70s for the next couple of days. Creeks are still very low and clear though (we still need rain badly) and fish are super spooky. Remember to fish any bit of shade you can find, concentrate from sunup to about 10 and dinner time until sundown for the best fishing. Trout are far more willing to eat in the broken, riffle water than they are the deep flat pools too.
Beetles and ants are working well early (the hippie stomper hatch is on!) part of the day with thin bodied bead heads tied below. In the evening, lighter colored mayflies, craneflies, and egg laying caddis are getting fish to rise.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 11am. Widespread haze before 9am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 80. Calm wind becoming east 5 to 7 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Creeks are very low and clear (we have had no real rain for almost 2 months) and temperatures are in the high 50s to low 60s and sometimes higher on the larger creeks. Please remember to use a thermometer and anything over 65 should be avoided.
Fishing early in the morning has been solid on ants and foam flies with a dropper. Things tend to shut down around 11 then pick up again in the later evening. At night fish are rising to craneflies and lighter colored mayflies (PMD/Sulphur).

Widespread haze. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 85. Light and variable wind.
Silver lining, there is at least a chance of some rain tonight and into tomorrow. We hope it happens!!!!
Creeks are very low and clear, and with the recent hot weather, temperatures are climbing to the point that we are making sure to check our thermometers. Anything over 65 should be avoided.
The mornings are still fishing well with a beetle and a bead head below. Hatches are sparse right now with a few caddis and cranes and some lighter colored mayflies coming off, but hatch activity is low for this time of year.
Fish early, find some shade, and fish the last two hours of the day. We are in summer conditions right now and we need to change tactics. If some rain finally hits the creeks (and we need a lot to percolate into the springs) it should reset the fishing to get back on track, but it is very difficult right now.
