September 26th Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 79. Light and variable wind.
Creeks are mostly clear with excellent temperatures in the middle to higher 50s.
This is a very weird fishing schedule right now. The weather wants to be fall, but the mid day sun is hanging around making things pretty warm. Trout are happiest when the sun is off the water.
That means nymphing in the mornings (it is pretty chilly for dries, but watch for a few fish rising to olive mayflies), and watching for a hatch in the early evening until sunset.
The bonus fishing is the hopper (or beetle, ant etc) and dropper fishing mid day. Once the sun has dried out the ground (about 10 or so) the terrestrials get moving around and you can have some fun fishing casting patterns at the undercut banks and beneath overhanging vegetation!
