September 15th Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 81. North wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.
Creeks are clear and flowing well for late summertime. Temperatures have been solid right around 60 with only a couple larger bodies of water still warm and showing some stain.
The trout menu is pretty simple from here until we get a long cooler snap of weather. Terrestrials fished in the riffles and near overhanging vegetation. Tie a slim bead head below the terrestrial for even more success!
When the temperatures do start to dip watch for the afternoon/evening olive mayfly hatch!

September 13th Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 76. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph.
Back to normal summer weather. Temperatures in the high 70s to 80 the rest of the week. The silver lining is that the hopper action will pick back up again! As the sun dries the dew off the grass the terrestrial fishing picks up. No need to get out super early in the morning if you are chasing the hopper bite.
In our area, the rain was light and didn’t fall all day long the past few days. Creeks are clear to slightly stained and temperatures are excellent after the cool weather.

September 12th Fishing Report

A 40 percent chance of showers, mainly before 3pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 67. North wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
There has not been near enough rain to make the creeks murky. They remain clear to slightly stained with excellent water temperatures!
Today is the last day of the cool, cloudy and drizzly weather. It has been a fantastic couple of days of fall weather with fish happily eating subsurface on scuds and leeches as well as a few still hitting darker colored terrestrial and attractor patterns with abandon. It didn’t quite produce a great olive hatch with only a few reports of spotty rising activity from around the area.
Tomorrow we get sunny and warmer weather which will mean the return of hopper and beetle fishing!

September 10th Fishing Report

Showers likely before 1pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm between 1pm and 4pm, then showers likely after 4pm. High near 62. North wind around 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
It’s miserable out there for anything other than trout! This cooler and cloudy weather should have fish in a pretty good mood. Through the weekend concentrate on scuds subsurface (still fish them below dark foam flies, think purple hippie stomper and purple training wheels) as well as leeches and pink squirrels. On paper, this is really solid weather to see some early hatches of olives. Keep an eye out for rising fish in the afternoon. If that hatch shows up, it will be a lot of fun in the afternoons.

September 9th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 81. South wind 7 to 10 mph.
Another solid hopper day today, but we can’t stop looking forward to Saturday through Tuesday. Temperatures are not supposed to top 67 degrees, we are forecasted for drizzle and clouds all day long too…. That looks like olive weather to us!
Creeks are in great shape for late summer with only a handful of larger creeks and lower sections hitting the mid 60s water temperature wise. On bright sunny days like today, your best bet is to toss terrestrials. Fish are happily eating hoppers in the shallower, broken water and up against undercut banks.

September 8th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. South wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.
Another great hopper day! Warm-ish, sunny and windy. We get 2 more of these, then the temperatures drop and we get some clouds and drizzle. That weather could be very good to see our late summer olive hatch show up.
Creeks are in excellent shape for late summer, with only a couple too warm for effective fishing. We’re fishing hoppers and beetles in the shallow riffles, and tying on a bead head below when we are fishing the runs below the riffles. Scuds have been effective in the mornings, then thinner bodied flies like perdigons and zebra midges.
Streamers and mice at night have been solid at night!

September 6th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Light southeast wind.
Creeks are clear and flowing well for summertime. We have been luck as water temperatures are still pretty low except for the largest creeks. Looking ahead, this week is decent hopper weather (sunny and breezy), but this weekend is getting us more than excited! Cooling down with highs in the high 60s to 70 degrees. A taste of fall is coming up soon!
The next few days, fish you normal terrestrial with a bead head below it as it has been extremely effective lately. Fish are very happy, and only going to get happier as we roll into the cooler weather coming up!

Labor Day Weekend Fishing Report

Saturday high 75, Sunday high 73, Monday high 75.

What a weekend! Weather is stable and cool, with just the right amount of wind and sun to make terrestrial fishing great.

Fishing nymphs early, then switching to terrestrials (with droppers in the runs and pools) later in the morning when the dew is off the grass is the way to fish. Hopper and beetle fishing has been quite fun the past few days, and if fish are fussy on the surface, drop a bead head below.

Creeks are clear and flowing pretty well for late summer. Temperatures are in the low 60s to mid 60s area wide with only a few larger creeks too warm for good fishing. Stick to the middle and upper sections of rivers and focus on the tributaries as they usually have more springs that keep temperatures lower.

September 2nd Fishing Report

A slight chance of showers between 10am and 11am. Mostly sunny, with a high near 86. South wind 8 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
It will be hot and humid out there today (cools down into the mid 70s for Saturday and Sunday). The cloud cover early will help a ton both with angler comfort and fishing!
Fish are responding to a splatted terrestrial near the banks. They are loving the noise and we have seen some fish come rocketing out from cover to eat. Most trout are in the riffles right now so do not neglect some of the shallow water, even with your big hopper pattern. In the evenings, there will be fish rising. While there is not a major hatch right now, having a few lighter colored (yellow to white) parachutes and some caddis to skitter across the surface is a good idea.
