September 8th Fishing Report

A chance of sprinkles between 8am and 10am. Mostly sunny, with a high near 73. South wind 6 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
The incredible weather will stick around for a few more days! The weekly forecast has things warming up later this week, but a couple days of warmer weather isn’t a bad thing.
Creeks are a bit low and clear with temperatures in the mid 50s on average. We’re still seeing a few tricos here and there in the morning, but the evening hatches of caddis and olives are a bit stronger. In between, terrestrials fished up against the bank and close to overhanging vegetation is key!
. Nymphing is THE best way to catch fish when things are chilly like this. Even dead drifting a leech below the riffles can get trout to eat if they are not rising. Continue focusing on the runs below the riffles, the broken water makes trout more comfortable when the sun is high and the water crystal clear.
. The reason the warmup later this week will be good is that the warmer temps will get the terrestrials moving around a bit more than normal!
