April 29th Fishing Report

The storms last night missed us for the most part. Only .5-1inches area-wide. The streams are all in good condition (still need more rain), with some mild staining on the larger water. Keep an eye on the weather for the next couple of days. We are starting to see tan caddis, and a handful of olives. Fish are still pretty happy subsurface, taking mid profile nymphs, and some leeches and streamers in the deeper water.

If you haven’t already done it, get your Drive-In movie tickets for June 6ths event.

April 24th Fishing Report

A 50 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a steady temperature around 51. East wind around 6 mph. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Creeks are in great shape, clear to slightly stained with temperatures right around 50 degrees.
We have had stable weather with clouds overhead and a bit of sun peeking out every once in a while. The cloud cover has helped with spooky fish in our low and clear creeks!
We’re still doing well fishing blue winged olive mayflies as they continue to hatch in the afternoon. On warmer and sunnier days we are still seeing black caddis and expect to see tan caddis any day now as well.
Subsurface fishing has been great on leeches and scuds early in the deeper pools and pockets, then switching to thin bodied, flashy nymphs in the riffles in the afternoons and evenings.

April 23rd Fishing Report

A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 9am, then a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 68. Southeast wind around 6 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
. Creeks are clear to slightly stained. The recent rains have not muddied anything up significantly except a a section or two of creeks near unplanted farm fields. Fish are very happy right now with the water temperatures hovering right around 50 degrees. The cloud cover and olive hatch will last the rest of the week with a few caddis popping off too (mostly blacks, but we have seen a tan or two recently)
. Subsurface fishing has been solid on scuds, bushier nymphs, and micro streamers.

April 22nd Fishing Report

Showers likely before 9am. Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 70. Southeast wind 8 to 11 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
. Creeks are in GREAT shape right now. We received another 1/2 inch of light, soaking rains last night which will do little to nothing in terms of muddying up the creeks. Most of the moisture has soaked right into the ground leaving creeks clear to slightly stained. Water temperatures are in the higher 40s to 50. We are still seeing some blue winged olives, but on a sunnier and warmer day like today we expect to see black caddis and potentially some tan caddis.
. Subsurface fishing has been solid on pretty much everything! Some flash on your flies seems to help, but fishing deeper runs in the mornings, then moving up to the riffles mid day and into the afternoon is successful.
The streamer and leech game has really turned on when the water temperatures climb over 50 degrees.

April 21st Fishing Report

Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 52. Breezy, with a west wind 10 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Yesterday we got a good soaking rain of about an inch and a half area wide. Some creeks will show a bit of stain today, but rain was not too heavy to make things unfishable.
The week ahead is looking cloudy and with spotty rains. Excellent news for our drought situation!
Fish are happy and feeding well subsurface on scuds, flashy nymphs, and leeches and streamers. On the surface the olive hatch is still around, but subsiding. The caddis hatches are getting stronger.

April 18th Fishing Report

A chance of showers and thunderstorms between 10am and 4pm, then a chance of showers after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 59. East wind 7 to 11 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Creeks are clear to stained. Rains last night were half an inch to an inch total and should not be enough to muddy things up. Even this morning we have clear creeks and fishable water over most of the area. These were much needed rains and the ground soaked most of it up.
We are still seeing olives daily, and black caddis on the sunnier days.
The weekend ahead will be partly cloudy today, sunny on Saturday, then cloudy again on Sunday.

April 17th Fishing Report

Showers likely, with thunderstorms also possible after 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 63. Breezy, with a south wind 11 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
A small rain storm is (hopefully) blowing into the area tonight. We really need the rain as creeks are very low. Cloud cover and wind will increase as the day goes on.
It is supposed to rain a bit tonight, then start to clear out tomorrow leaving a calm and sunny weekend.
We are still seeing blue winged olive mayflies and black caddis in the afternoons. The water temperature is chilly in the early mornings, then climbing to 50 degrees in the afternoon. Most of the hatch activity is when the water temperature is close to 50 degrees.

April 16th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 58. Calm wind becoming southeast 5 to 9 mph in the morning.
Conditions are great right now. While the creek could be a bit higher (we really need some rain!) fish are very happy. Normally they are in the deeper runs in the mornings and will happily feed on scuds, caddis larvae, and flashy nymphs subsurface. Around mid day (or earlier on sunny days like today) they move into the riffles to feed on the caddis and mayflies hatching. It is still chilly at night, so there is no need to get up at the crack of dawn. It is a 9-5 fishery right now.

April 15th Fishing Report

Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 51. Breezy, with a northwest wind 18 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph.
Not much different from the past few days. The winds are making fishing (especially dry fly fishing) more difficult. We are seeing olives and black caddis in the afternoons, and the subsurface fishing game is strong on pretty much everything right now!
We are on the lookout for the creek lamprey spawning anytime now as well.
Creeks are clear and low with temperatures in the mid 40s to just about 50 degrees.
