Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 53. East wind 5 to 11 mph becoming south in the afternoon.
Creeks are clear to very slightly stained with temperatures in the low 40s. With the mild warming trend coming this weekend and into next week, we are on caddis watch!
In the meantime, fishing has been quite good on olives and midges as well as winter stones on the surface. Subsurface has been excellent on scuds and squirrels as well as continuing to be strong on the thin bodied bugs with a bit of flash.
With the clear water and sun, fish are still spooky so focus your efforts on the broken water in the riffles and runs as fish in the flat pools are near impossible to catch lately!
Streamers and leeches are getting aggressive eats too, especially early and late in the day when the sun is not shining directly on the water.

Sunny, with a high near 46. Breezy, with a west wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 13 to 18 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained with water temps in the low 40s.
The rains have worked their way through everything but the lowest section of our creeks leaving the water clear. With the sun shining, expect fish to be a little more spooky than the past couple of days.
We have been seeing hatches of olives, stoneflies, and midges daily and caddis are right around the corner!
Subsurface fishing has been great on leeches and thinner bodied, flashy nymphs.

We will be open Friday and Saturday normal hours, but closed Easter Sunday.

Mostly cloudy, with a temperature falling to around 38 by 5pm. Breezy, with a west wind 15 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph.
Creeks north of town received about 3/4 of an inch, where some south had about 2 inches of rain fall. Heading north of the shop is a good idea this morning as our staff has already scouted fishable stain to clear water up there!
We’re still seeing olives and midges daily and waiting for a warmup to start to see more caddis.

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly before 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. High near 46. Breezy, with an east wind 10 to 15 mph increasing to 18 to 23 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
A mixed bag of weather coming up today and tomorrow. If it does not come all at once things will be just fine. These gusty winds will last until Friday.
Olives have been hatching almost all day long right next to midges. If you are on the right creek, this has been some of the better dry fly fishing in early April we have had in years. On the creeks that the hatch is sparse, fishing a chubby chernobyl in olive or brown with a thread franchise or pink squirrel below has been deadly.
For more aggressive fish, a baby swim coach fished deep in the pools has been a lot of fun lately!

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. Southwest wind 5 to 8 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon.
After the rains Friday night and some murky water on Saturday, Sunday saw most creeks clear to stained with only the largest ones still a bit muddy.
Today continues the clearing and with the cloud cover we should see our continued dry fly fishing! Midges and olives are hatching daily, and the trout have been happily sipping them on the surface for most of the day!
Where fish are not rising, we are having success with smaller, flashy nymphs as well as leech patterns twitched or slowly stripped over the drop off below a riffle.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the low 40s.

Rain yesterday was anywhere from 1/2 to 2 inches area wide. Most creeks are muddy, but clearing and dropping rapidly! There is fishable water as of this morning and there were even a couple spots with fish rising. It will take some windshield time, but good water is out there.

This afternoon we should see even more things openeing up.

On the clear water, olives midges and scuds. On the dirty water, leeches, streamers and size 12 jig pink squirrels!

Through the day, conditions were excellent, now we have an unpredictable storm that has dumped some heavy rains in a short amount of time area wide. Heavy enough that some fields are starting to kick mud into the creeks. It looks like we will get a bit more rain soon, then the weather mellows out a bit and hopefully things will flush out quickly!

We will give an update tomorrow morning.

Rain and thunderstorms likely, then rain and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm. High near 59. Southeast wind 8 to 14 mph becoming east in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
We’re not really sure what to make of the weather forecast. We are supposed to get some precipitation, but it is all over the board of what might, or might not happen. While we need the moisture, we just do not want it to all fall at once. Keep an eye on the report and social media as we will keep you updated as best as possible if anything bad happens.
As of now, creeks are clear and a bit low. It has been drizzling early this morning, but just enough to wet the pavement.
Fishing has been really fun lately with fish rising almost all day long to midges and olives with a few black caddis showing up as well. In addition to the surface fishing, scuds and flashy nymphs have been excellent fished in the riffles. We prefer to fish them behind a size 16 foam fly in darker color to imitate our spring stoneflies.

A 50 percent chance of rain after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 44. Southeast wind 8 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Looking forward, we are forecasted for some rain tomorrow and possible snow Friday night. If the rain does not come all at once, then everything will be just fine. The ground is still very dry and can absorb a lot of moisture right now.
Creeks are clear and low with temperatures in the high 30s to mid 40s. Fish have been in a great mood lately rising almost all day long. Since the creeks are so clear, they are super spooky in the flat pools, but the broken riffle water and just below the riffles they are much easier to catch right now.
Midges and olives are hatching, with a few caddis showing up as well. From time to time we are spotting some spring stoneflies too.
A size 16 chubby chernobyl (brown or olive) with a bead head below is great when the fish are not rising.
Leeches and smaller streamers are great right now too with trout acting very grabby lately.

Mostly cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 33. Northwest wind 8 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.
Tomorrow’s weather is back to the high 40s, this is a brief low this week.
Fishing has been quite good in the later morning thorough the evening. Fish are rising to midges and olives with a few caddis already showing up. We have also started to see some spring stoneflies.
Overall creeks are clear and a bit low, which means fish are spooky. Water temps are right around 40 degrees which is the magic temperature for early spring.
