Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 25. North wind 5 to 7 mph becoming west in the afternoon.
Creeks are very low and clear. Temps in the high 30s to 40.
Still waiting on just a bit of a warmup for consistent fishing. While there are windows of opportunity, it just ins’t prime right now. Sunday changes the weather pattern with air temperatures reaching the low 40s!
There is little snow left on the ground right now, so melting isn’t a huge concern, but it is still worth checking water temperatures throughout the day. Once they start to drop, things shut down quickly!

Partly sunny, with a high near 29. Northwest wind 6 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the high 30s to low 40s.
Creeks in the open valleys are pretty much snow free. Ones with shade still have a bit of melting to do.
The rest of the week is very chilly until Sunday when the temperature is supposed to hit almost 50 degrees. All of next week looks quite good temperature wise and could be the start of thawed out fishing. While there has been decent winter fishing here and there, it has not been worth an investment in drive time yet. Next week should change things!

Sunny, with a high near 41. Breezy, with a southwest wind 6 to 11 mph increasing to 12 to 17 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph.
Sunny and warm (for winter!). The wind will be a pain in the butt however. We go into a chilly stretch of days heading into the weekend (Sunday looks good again).

A chance of snow before 10am, then scattered flurries between 10am and noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 32. Northwest wind 10 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Saturday night did give us some rain and significant melting. Things were pretty muddy Sunday. There is fishable water out there right now, and fish have been feeding well on leeches and scuds subsurface. On sunny days there are even some rising fish mid day!
We are still hesitant to say it is worth a long drive for fishing. We’re still only fishing a few hours mid day when water temperatures are climbing, and things shut down in the later afternoon when the temperature drops.
If you are going crazy being inside, the next few days will be relief from cabin fever and you might catch a few fish! Otherwise, wait a few more days as things will start getting better very soon!

A chance of rain and thunderstorms, then rain and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm. High near 58. Southeast wind 6 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Quite warm today, and a good chance of rain. This will unlock quite a bit of leftover snow and cause the creeks to turn cold and murky. On paper, it will not be a good day for fishing as things did not re freeze last night and there is already some cold water trickling into the creeks.
We will keep you updated, but things should be back on track quickly as there is not a lot of snow on the ground.

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 31. North wind 5 to 7 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with water temps in the high 30s to low 40s. The past couple of days were good melting days. The creeks stayed in good shape until about 3 pm then they started to show some stain from runoff. Having a cold day like to day will give things a chance to slow down melting wise. We’re heading for a bit of a warmup this weekend that might include some rain. There is not a lot of snow left on the banks so we do not expect too much mud to come with the melting and rains.
Midges, stoneflies, and even some olives are hatching mid day. Nymphing and fishing leech patterns has been very successful while water temperatures are climbing.

A chance of rain and snow showers before noon, then a chance of sprinkles between noon and 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 42. Light west wind becoming north 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
There is little snow left on the banks, but there is just enough in the fields and on the hills to chill things down in the later afternoon. It has not gotten warm enough to turn things murky yet. Fishing before the water temperatures drop has been pretty good, but the window of opportunity is narrow (at best 10-2). Once the rest of the snow melts (looking like the weekend may be the time for a big melt) fishing will be good for longer.
Midges, winter stones, and even some sporadic BWOs are around. Creeks are very low and clear which means fish are very spooky.

Partly sunny, with a high near 43. Northwest wind 3 to 8 mph.
The melting snow did not completely lock up last night which means we have had a trickle of melting all night long that will continue into today.
Creeks are very low and clear (fish are super spooky) with water temperatures in the high 30s to low 40s. Remember to use your thermometer! Rising water temperatures are good right now, once snowmelt drops temperature or things cool down near the end of the day, fishing shuts off.
We are seeing midges, winter stones, and even a handful of olives out there with some fish rising mid day. Your best fishing is subsurface on perdigon nymphs and scuds or fishing leeches slowly over the deeper pools.

Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 45. Southeast wind 5 to 9 mph becoming west in the afternoon.
We have little snow left on the banks (which hopefully will not be a problem going later into the season as our water levels are very low right now). A warmer, sunny day like this will be a melting day and should release a bit of icy water into the creeks. It is essential on days like this to make sure to use your thermometer and fish while the water temperature is rising. There is a sweet spot right around mid day that temperatures are good up until the snowmelt starts to hit the creeks. The moment that happens, fishing slows down or stops outright.
We are still seeing midges and a few winter stoneflies, and some anglers have reported even seeing a few olives hatching. Fishing a smaller, dark bodied pattern subsurface to start the day, and switching to a klinkhammer or tilt wing if fish are rising is the normal rhythm for the winter season. Do not overlook streamers and leeches as we get these warm bumps as some larger fish will seek out big meals this time of year.
