Fishing Report

Showers and thunderstorms before noon, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between noon and 1pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. High near 62. Breezy, with a light southeast wind becoming south 13 to 18 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
That’s a long winded way of saying it is going to drizzle and lightly rain throughout the day. Typically this will do nothing to muddy up the creeks and we should continue to see clear to stained water area wide.
Yesterday was surprising as the snowmelt did not get heavy enough to mess with the fishing. We had olives hatching all day (and we could see that again today with the clouds) and happy trout eating dries and emergers in the riffles and runs.
The clouds look like they will stay in the area until early next week. While it can feel miserable for anglers, trout and aquatic insects typically love this weather.

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly before 1pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. High near 49. Breezy, with an east wind 13 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Creeks have remained clear for the past couple of days. What snowmelt has occured has dropped water temps in the afternoon and slowed fishing down, but until today it has not muddied up the water. With the consistent rain today, we expect many of our creeks to stain up, and in some cases get muddy. With the rains predicted today and through tomorrow things might get messy for a day or two.

Sunny, with a high near 49. Northwest wind 5 to 8 mph.
Creeks remained clear yesterday, but snow melt entered later in the day cooling things down. With the sun and warmer weather we expect a bit more melting today, although the ground is very thirsty and will absorb quite a bit.
Fishing was good yesterday morning into the afternoon. Mostly subsurface but a few caddis and olives were hatching. Go subsurface today until you see fish rising!

Snow showers likely, mainly before 11am. Cloudy, with a high near 37. Breezy, with a northwest wind 8 to 13 mph increasing to 17 to 22 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
6-12 inches fell area wide last night. While it will not mess with the fishing too much, driving and parking will be difficult. Today is probably a good day to stay home. Tomorrow after a bit of melting and road maintenance will be MUCH better.
The snow is a great thing overall, the ground should absorb most of it and our springs will benefit!. It all should be melted by Wednesday. We will keep you posted on water conditions.

Snow, possibly mixed with rain before 4pm, then snow, possibly mixed with rain and sleet. Temperature falling to around 33 by 4pm. Breezy, with a northwest wind 14 to 24 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow and sleet accumulation of less than one inch possible.
Weather is going to be ugly tonight and into tomorrow morning. Forecasts from anywhere between 6 and 18 inches of snow! While we welcome the water for the creeks, it will make travel extremely difficult and potentially dangerous. Best to stay away until Tuesday or so. Since the ground is thawed and dry most of the melting should percolate in pretty well.

IF you are here this morning, it is a worm morning. On the way to the shop we noticed the first emergence of earthworms! Fish the dark side and tie on a worm pattern this morning.

Otherwise, watch for olives to start hatching again with the cloud cover, and scuds will be a good idea.

A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after noon. Increasing clouds, with a high near 70. Light and variable wind becoming west 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 22 mph. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Although fishing was good the past few days (thank you caddis hatch!!!) We are excited to get back on track with spring weather. The forecast for the weekend is for miserable, drizzly weather through Sunday (then a winter storm watch. Totally normal to go from a burn ban/ fire warning to winter storm right?). Fish today, fish tomorrow am, then get where you need to be before the potential wintry weather hits!!
Creeks are clear with happy fish eating caddis flies on sunny days and on days like today we should see some olive mayfly activity in the afternoon.

Sunny, with a high near 78. Breezy, with a south wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 12 to 17 mph in the afternoon.
Today is the last day of our heat wave! We finally get back to normal weather and some much needed precipitation.
Creeks are clear and a bit low with temperatures in the low to mid 50s.

Caddis are hatching daily pretty much everywhere in the afternoon. Watch for splashy rises just below the riffles and even into the riffles.

Subsurface fishing is great on caddis larvae, thin bodied nymphs with a bit of flash, and scuds early and late when the sun is off the water.

Sunny, with a high near 81. Breezy, with a south wind 9 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.
The hot weather has bumped water temperatures into the low to mid 50s. This has the caddis coming off in pretty good numbers. Mostly black caddis, but we have still seen tan out there too.
The olives are still here as well, but their hatches will be better this weekend when temperatures get back to normal and we see a bit of cloud cover.
Overall, creeks are clear and fish spooky. Focus on shaded areas, and riffles or other water where the surface is moving and will break up what a trout can see.
Hatches are happening pretty much all day with things kicking off later in the morning.
Subsurface fishing is good on pretty much anything, but thinner bodied bugs will spook far fewer fish right now.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Southwest wind 7 to 14 mph.
With this crazy heat wave (we can officially call wet wading weather in April a heat wave) caddis showed up in good numbers yesterday afternoon and we expect the trend to continue all week long.
Olives are declining in importance until it cools down and we get some clouds. The bright and sunny days are caddis days. Watch for splashy rises starting mid day.
Creeks are clear and low with temperatures reaching into the 50s now.
Make sure you are moving your flies. Both subsurface patterns, and surface patterns. Caddis are very active hatching bugs so a bit of movement on your flies can make the difference.

Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 70. South wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.
Going to be hot (for spring) and sunny the next few days.
Creeks are clear and a bit low. With the bright sun the next few days, expect fish to be spooky and looking for shade, structure, or broken water.
Olives continue to hatch daily, midges are waning, and any day we could see caddis especially with this bump up in temperatures.
Scuds and squirrels should work a bit less with the high sun, make sure you are stocked with thinner profile nymphs.
