Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 81. Breezy, with a south wind 9 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.
The hot weather has bumped water temperatures into the low to mid 50s. This has the caddis coming off in pretty good numbers. Mostly black caddis, but we have still seen tan out there too.
The olives are still here as well, but their hatches will be better this weekend when temperatures get back to normal and we see a bit of cloud cover.
Overall, creeks are clear and fish spooky. Focus on shaded areas, and riffles or other water where the surface is moving and will break up what a trout can see.
Hatches are happening pretty much all day with things kicking off later in the morning.
Subsurface fishing is good on pretty much anything, but thinner bodied bugs will spook far fewer fish right now.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Southwest wind 7 to 14 mph.
With this crazy heat wave (we can officially call wet wading weather in April a heat wave) caddis showed up in good numbers yesterday afternoon and we expect the trend to continue all week long.
Olives are declining in importance until it cools down and we get some clouds. The bright and sunny days are caddis days. Watch for splashy rises starting mid day.
Creeks are clear and low with temperatures reaching into the 50s now.
Make sure you are moving your flies. Both subsurface patterns, and surface patterns. Caddis are very active hatching bugs so a bit of movement on your flies can make the difference.

Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 70. South wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.
Going to be hot (for spring) and sunny the next few days.
Creeks are clear and a bit low. With the bright sun the next few days, expect fish to be spooky and looking for shade, structure, or broken water.
Olives continue to hatch daily, midges are waning, and any day we could see caddis especially with this bump up in temperatures.
Scuds and squirrels should work a bit less with the high sun, make sure you are stocked with thinner profile nymphs.

Partly sunny, with a high near 53. East wind 5 to 11 mph becoming south in the afternoon.
Creeks are clear to very slightly stained with temperatures in the low 40s. With the mild warming trend coming this weekend and into next week, we are on caddis watch!
In the meantime, fishing has been quite good on olives and midges as well as winter stones on the surface. Subsurface has been excellent on scuds and squirrels as well as continuing to be strong on the thin bodied bugs with a bit of flash.
With the clear water and sun, fish are still spooky so focus your efforts on the broken water in the riffles and runs as fish in the flat pools are near impossible to catch lately!
Streamers and leeches are getting aggressive eats too, especially early and late in the day when the sun is not shining directly on the water.

Sunny, with a high near 46. Breezy, with a west wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 13 to 18 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained with water temps in the low 40s.
The rains have worked their way through everything but the lowest section of our creeks leaving the water clear. With the sun shining, expect fish to be a little more spooky than the past couple of days.
We have been seeing hatches of olives, stoneflies, and midges daily and caddis are right around the corner!
Subsurface fishing has been great on leeches and thinner bodied, flashy nymphs.

We will be open Friday and Saturday normal hours, but closed Easter Sunday.

Mostly cloudy, with a temperature falling to around 38 by 5pm. Breezy, with a west wind 15 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph.
Creeks north of town received about 3/4 of an inch, where some south had about 2 inches of rain fall. Heading north of the shop is a good idea this morning as our staff has already scouted fishable stain to clear water up there!
We’re still seeing olives and midges daily and waiting for a warmup to start to see more caddis.

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly before 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. High near 46. Breezy, with an east wind 10 to 15 mph increasing to 18 to 23 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
A mixed bag of weather coming up today and tomorrow. If it does not come all at once things will be just fine. These gusty winds will last until Friday.
Olives have been hatching almost all day long right next to midges. If you are on the right creek, this has been some of the better dry fly fishing in early April we have had in years. On the creeks that the hatch is sparse, fishing a chubby chernobyl in olive or brown with a thread franchise or pink squirrel below has been deadly.
For more aggressive fish, a baby swim coach fished deep in the pools has been a lot of fun lately!

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. Southwest wind 5 to 8 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon.
After the rains Friday night and some murky water on Saturday, Sunday saw most creeks clear to stained with only the largest ones still a bit muddy.
Today continues the clearing and with the cloud cover we should see our continued dry fly fishing! Midges and olives are hatching daily, and the trout have been happily sipping them on the surface for most of the day!
Where fish are not rising, we are having success with smaller, flashy nymphs as well as leech patterns twitched or slowly stripped over the drop off below a riffle.
Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the low 40s.

Rain yesterday was anywhere from 1/2 to 2 inches area wide. Most creeks are muddy, but clearing and dropping rapidly! There is fishable water as of this morning and there were even a couple spots with fish rising. It will take some windshield time, but good water is out there.

This afternoon we should see even more things openeing up.

On the clear water, olives midges and scuds. On the dirty water, leeches, streamers and size 12 jig pink squirrels!

Through the day, conditions were excellent, now we have an unpredictable storm that has dumped some heavy rains in a short amount of time area wide. Heavy enough that some fields are starting to kick mud into the creeks. It looks like we will get a bit more rain soon, then the weather mellows out a bit and hopefully things will flush out quickly!

We will give an update tomorrow morning.
