September 5th Fishing Report

A chance of sprinkles before 3pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 60. Breezy, with a west wind 7 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph.
A little rain shower hit the area last night. This was a gentle rain that soaked into the ground and did not do anything to stream clarity or water levels. Things remain a bit low and clear to slightly stained.
This cool weather has been incredible! Over the weekend the high temps will be in the mid 60s with overnights in the low 40s! Watch for some bugs to hatch in the afternoons.
Things will be a bit slow and chilly in the morning. Focus a bit more on fishing nymphs in the runs and tailouts of the pools. As things warm up a bit and the sun warms the ground up, we are switching to a hopper with a dropper and moving our target area into shallower water and below undercut banks. In the afternoons and evenings we are starting to see some hatching bugs. It is still sparse, but if you are in the right place at the right time, fish are rising to small mayflies (ligher olive body color) and will feed on skittered caddis.
. Streamer and leeches have been good too! Fish them dead drift to a slow swim in the cool mornings, then speed them up just a bit later in the day.
