A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. South wind 6 to 9 mph. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Still hot and sunny. Nothing has changed much except water temperatures are getting higher due to this weather. We need some rain in a bad way to cool things down and refill the creeks.
Mostly sunny, with a high near 89. South wind 6 to 9 mph.
Water is low and fish are spooky as a result. Fish early and late for the best and most comfortable fishing. Skip the mid day to give trout (and yourself) a break during this low water/warm temp period. And if you know any way to make rain appear, please do it as the fish (and the ground) would appreciate it!
Sunny, with a high near 84. South wind 8 to 11 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the low 60s. Unseasonably warm for this time of season, we need some rains!
While fishing isn’t great, it isn’t horrible either. Fishing early and late, skipping the mid day sun, and finding shade is key right now. Summer fishing in springtime….
Hatches are concentrated during the first and last two hours of daylight. During the day fishing a beetle or hippie stomper with a dropper is key. When fish are rising they are eating egg laying caddis, light colored mayflies and craneflies.
Partly sunny, with a high near 82. Southeast wind around 7 mph.
The high pressure system is still over head. The lack of rain and sunny weather has fishing difficult. It is not impossible, and we are just now seeing some water temperatures climb into the 60s. If you find shade, and fish early and late in the day things are still ok.
Ants and beetles with bead heads below when possible will catch you fish in the riffles and broken water during the day, but the real action is coming at night with caddis, craneflies, and lighter colored mayflies hatching and fish rising to them.
Sunny, with a high near 74. Southeast wind 3 to 8 mph.
Creeks are clear and quite low. Fish are very spooky
Best fishing is 5-9 in the evening when the sun is off the water. You are able to grab a few fish in the riffles in middle part of the day, but it is more difficult than normal for this time of season!
Caddis, Craneflies, Sulphurs, Beetles.
Sunny, with a high near 68. East wind 8 to 11 mph
Yet another sunny, high pressure day. These conditions are making fishing quite difficult. Fish early and late, and find the shade for your best success. Happy trout are in the broken water, or tucked underneath banks until the sun starts to lower in the sky (or early morning too).
Creeks are very low and crystal clear. While temperatures are good, the sun is really slowing things down.
Caddis, Craneflies, Sulphurs, Beetles and ants are all on the menu for the surface. Subsurface, unweighted pheasant tails, and thin bodied bugs (purdygons, zebrea midges etc) are catching fish.
Mostly sunny, with a high near 80. Southwest wind 3 to 7 mph.
Caddis and craneflies are around, and fish are responding to them skittered in the riffle water. We have started to see some sulphurs and cahills but it isn’t what we would consider a ‘hatch’ yet. They will appear in numbers soon….
Subsurface has been better on thin bodied bugs due to the clear water and clear skies. Food, purdygons, zebra midges etc.
Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. South wind 3 to 8 mph.
Creeks are very clear and low for this time of year. The dry fly fishing has been slow because of the conditions. Subsurface fishing in the riffles and broken water as well as deeper pools has been solid still.
We are seeing some caddis and cranes, but not enough risers the past couple of days to get excited. We are watching the evening time as sulfurs have started to make an appearance.
Subsurface fishing below a beetle or hippie stomper is the way to go through most of the day.
Sunny, with a high near 72. West wind around 7 mph.
Creeks are low and clear. Caddis and cranes are hatching and we are starting to see some sulfurs in the evening.
Most of all, it has been very crowded out there. We ask everyone to please make sure to check in with other anglers before fishing a spot. There is still enough room to spread out. If the spot you wanted to fish has a car on it, head to another spot. Even break out the map and explore a different valley!
There is no reason to hop in upstream of another angler (high hole) and fish. If you can see the angler(s), please walk down to them and check in before you fish.
When you park at a public access point, it is very helpful if you leave a note on your dashboard indicating which way you went!
Enjoy the weather, enjoy the fishery, and be good to each other!
Partly sunny, with a high near 59. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the mid to high 50s.
Today is the last mild weather day, the weekend will be warmer and sunnier. While this is helping the caddis hatch, it is making mid day fishing difficult! Focus on early and late fishing for the best results. Caddis and craneflies are the main menu item but we should start to see some lighter colored mayflies soon with the warmer weather.
