Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 46. Southwest wind 5 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
Creeks are clear with temperatures in the mid to high 30s.
A very warm springlike week ahead. We do not have a ton of snow left on the banks, but what is left will melt over the next couple of days. Make sure you use your thermometer and if the temperature of the creek is dropping, it is time to move on.
On some of the shaded slopes there is still quite a bit of snow and that can muddy things up if it starts melting rapidly. You are usually better off on open, meadow creeks that have less snow on them.
We are still in midge and winter stonefly hatch time, but with the warmer weather we are starting the blue winged olive watch. Once the water temps hit 40 we should start to see them appearing.

Showers. High near 42. South wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Light rain and higher temperatures continue our snowmelt. Creeks are starting to muddy up a bit. However, with the below freezing evening and cooler temperatures tomorrow the fishery will get back on track quickly and should be in great shape for tomorrow mid day and through the weekend.
Remember shop is open 7 days a week! Weekdays 9-3, Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 9-noon

Scattered flurries after 2pm. Cloudy, with a high near 29. North wind around 11 mph.
There is still some snow on the banks, which should slowly melt over the next few days. So far it has been a trickle melt that locks up again with below freezing temperatures at night, but we might get some murky water Wednesday/Thursday.
Overall, it is still winter fishing. Which means fish the middle part of the day (roughly from 9-3) when the water warms up and before snowmelt cools it down.
We are still seeing midges and winter stoneflies. Olives are right around the corner if we get some warmer temperatures later this week!

A chance of snow before 11am, then a chance of flurries between 11am and noon. Cloudy, with a high near 34. North wind 6 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Lots of snow fell overnight. This later winter snow will slowly melt over the next couple of days. With temperatures this weekend in the low 30s, the chance of a massive melt off are very slim. The banks did not have much snow on them before last night, so it will not be too difficult to get around. Just give road crews some time to scrape the roads first thing this morning and really focus on fishing from 10-2 when water temperatures are the best.
We are still seeing midges and winter stones hatching daily, and lately leeches have been excellent with trout responding to them fished either dead drift OR with a slow strip.
Fishing scuds below the riffles right now is great too.

SHOP OPEN FRI 1-5, Saturday 9-2 and Sunday 9-noon.

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 42. East wind around 8 mph becoming north in the afternoon.

Creeks are starting to see some snowmelt with the warm-ish temperatures. This is normally occurring around 2. Once the snowmelt hits the creeks, the fishing drops off or shuts down completely. Even a small trickle of melt can drop the water temperature and end your fishing day. A thermometer is extremely important right now!

We’re seeing midges and winter stoneflies pretty much daily, and fish are happily eating small, thin bodied bugs in the riffles and at the drop off and tailout of pools.

A slight chance of rain between 10am and 11am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 45. Southeast wind 11 to 15 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Decent winter weather all week long. March 1st is normally when we start getting ready in earnest for the upcoming trout season. While mid winter fishing can be fun, March brings more reliably comfortable temperatures and better fishing.
We have midges and winter stoneflies hatching daily. Creeks in are in good shape thanks to a slow melting of the snow. Just remember your thermometer, once it gets too late in the day and the snowmelt hits the creeks in a larger volume, fishing shuts down. Make sure you are fishing a rising water temperature!

The store is now open on the weekends, Friday from 1-5, Saturday 9-2 and Sunday 9-noon

Rain, possibly mixed with sleet before 2pm, then a chance of rain between 2pm and 4pm. High near 37. Breezy, with an east wind 11 to 18 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Little or no sleet accumulation expected.
Spitting some winter sleet today, but it is not predicted to be heavy at all or really stick around. Temperatures will hover around 40, then drop to the mid to high 30s, then back again closer to 40 for the weekend. The forecast is looking good for winter fishing!
We did get quite a bit of snow early last week, but it has not impacted fishing much at all. Just remember to be careful where you park and pull all the way off the road if you are on a creek with snow on the shoulder of the road.
It is still midges and winter stoneflies on the surface mid day. Subsurface is starting to get better on larger and thicker bodied bugs. While most of the fish are on small, thin and black or flashy nymphs, scuds, purple drank, and brush hogs are picking up more and more fish lately.
Leeches are good as well! Fish them slowly below the riffles and let the current make them move. Don’t strip them, twitch them!
