Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 82. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph.
Creeks have dropped and cleared quickly with more streams flowing clear to slightly stained. Only a couple of waters and the lower sections of larger creeks are murky still. Temperatures are pretty good for summer with most creeks in the low 60s, but continue to use your thermometer! Anything over 65 will be slow fishing and much higher than that you are at risk of killing fish!
Terrestrials with a dropper are the main way to prospect for trout right now. Focus on the riffles and shaded undercut banks. The last hour or two of sunlight we do have some rising fish. A parachute adams, or cranefly should do the trick to get them to eat. We like to fish two dries. Our beetle up front, and our parachute behind.

A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before 4pm, then a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5pm. Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 82. Light west wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Cloudy and humid start to the day. The clouds will break up a bit later on. We’re in summer mode which means fishing as early as possible to take advantage of shade and cooler water temperatures. While things are not too hot yet, we are still recommending that you use your thermometer often. Anything over 65 will be slow fishing, and much warmer you can be harming trout.
Creeks are stained to muddy today after another great summer shower last night. Anywhere from half to an inch fell area wide. It hit pretty consistently throughout the area (much more rain fell in the Fennimore area). That means you will have to put a couple extra miles on your drive time to find the stained to clear water out there!
. A good day for San Juan worms, leeches, and large scuds.

A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 10am. Partly sunny, with a high near 84. Light southeast wind becoming south 6 to 11 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clearing up nicely, We have quite a few creeks that are clear, lots that still have a bit of a stain, and only a couple that are murky/muddy still.
. The sun today will not do us any favors. Fish early, fish late, and chase the shade for happier fish. Thanks to the recent rains, water temps are good on most of our creeks. It is still a good idea to use your thermometer as once the water temps start rising, it can cause fish to slow down their feeding.
. Most of the action is in the riffles and seams right below the riffles. Fishing an attractor terrestrial with a bead head below is effective all day long. Trout will come up to dries early in the morning and the evening when the sun is off the water.

Scattered showers before 7am. Patchy fog before 8am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 75. West wind 8 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
. Well, we were a bit wrong. The ground was thirstier than we anticipated and we do have quite a bit of fishable water, from crystal clear to slightly stained. Yes, there are some creeks that are chocolate milk, but there are also some small to medium sized creeks that are crystal clear out there! These summer flushes are typically excellent for fishing. Chase the stained water to find the happiest fish.
Creeks will continue to drop and clear throughout the weekend with the only predicted rains coming on Sunday evening.
Scuds, leeches, and worms on the murky water. Squirrels, scuds, and princelings on the stained water, thin bodied, flashy nymphs on the clear waters.
On the surface, the weather has messed with hatches a bit, so beetles and foam fly indicators have been good, with ants doing well on the clear creeks. For hatches, the lighter colored mayflies have slowed down a bit with the changing weather, but the parachute Adams and parachute purple hatch is going strong!

Scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Partly sunny, with a high near 83. South wind 6 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
We were hopefully as the rains held off a bit more than we anticipated South of town, but we are going to get more today. While there will be a small percentage of water that is fishable today, it looks like a bust overall until tomorrow or Saturday.
THE SILVER LINING: We really needed this rain. To have some water finally soak in and have at least some of that water get into the groundwater to recharge the springs is incredible news for what was setting up to be another dry summer. While we are not out of the weeds yet in terms of low water, this is a great step forward.

Showers and thunderstorms likely before 2pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 2pm and 4pm, then showers and thunderstorms likely after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 77. Light east wind increasing to 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Tonight 1-2 inches forecasted.
Fishing was quite good yesterday on the stained to cloudy creeks! With the flush of food, and the increased security for trout (cloudy sky, cloudy water) trout were in an excellent mood. There were still some muddy and unfishable creeks, but they have dropped and cleared for today. Expect the solid fishing to continued this morning.
BUT…. We are supposed to get some rains tonight again. While much needed for the overall health of the fishery, they have the potential to muddy things up. We are also forecasted for another 1-2 inches Thursday night too.
Bottom line. If you are already here, go fish! The conditions are excellent right now to catch some happy summer fish. If you have to travel, you may want to hold off until we see what the rainfall actually does to the creeks.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Cloudy, with a high near 78. North wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Rain yesterday dropped between 2-4 inches area wide over a pretty long period of time. The intense rains were around 3 p.m. which has given most creeks time to clear up a bit. There was no major flooding, most creeks barely got out of their banks, but we did get a mini flush and the soil is pretty well saturated! Overall creeks are clear to medium stain with only a handful running murky or muddy.
Fishing should be pretty good today with a stain on the water and some cooler temperatures both air and water!!
We are slated to get some more rain later tomorrow (Wednesday) so this might be a great window of opportunity today between rain storms.

Showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 3pm. Some of the storms could be severe and produce heavy rainfall. High near 88. Southwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
HEAT INDEX OF 100 degrees
It’s just unhealthy for you and for trout to be out there right now. Water temperatures have shot way up, and trout are not in a good mood at all.
The silver lining, we are supposed to get some rains (hopefully some heavier ones) that could cool things down and put some much needed water in the system. We will keep you posted, but as of now, we do not recommend trout fishing in the area.

Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before noon. High near 84. South wind 6 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Nice cloudy and drizzle morning. Not enough rain to mess things up by any stretch of the imagination.
We’re recommending to skip this weekend. It will be HOT out there with heat indices over 100 degrees. Not nice for humans, and the water temperatures are climbing rapidly. A good weekend to stay local and fish for panfish or just stay home and stay cool.
If you are out there, please use your thermometer. Anything over 65 will be slow fishing and much more than that can be lethal to trout. Bettles and ants on the surface, thin bodied bugs in the drizzle.

Creeks are warming up. Water temperatures are now at the point where we ask you please use a thermometer. Anything over 65 degrees will be slow fishing and much higher than that can be lethal to trout.

We are due for a heat wave this weekend with heat index temperatures in the low 100s. This isn’t going to be good for you or for fish. If you are around this weekend, please limit your fishing to the first 4-5 hours of the day.

Creeks are low and clear, with temperatures in the low to mid 60s. Only a few smaller creeks are in the high 50s.

Beetles with droppers in the mornings, and if water temperature allows, matching the lighter colored mayfly hatches in the evenings.
