Fishing Report

Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before noon. High near 79. Light southeast wind increasing to 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
A brief shower this morning has given way to drizzle which should hold through the rest of the day. The rains did not mess anything up in our area at all. The vast majority of our creeks are still clear to stained. While we might get another shower or two, it does not look like anything that will last long or screw up fishing.
Because of the cloud cover and the rain cooling things down this morning, trout in are a good mood that should last with this weather all weekend long.

A couple of good storms rolled in last night before midnight. They have dumped anywhere from a quarter to 2 inches of rain in our area.

Looking at the map, north of the shop received a little less rain.

Expect muddy conditions on many of the creeks with some of the smallest headwater ones already clear enough to fish. In this dropping, post/rain water, fish worm patterns, black leeches and scuds.

Creeks should drop and clear quickly through the day, keep your scuds handy for the next day or two as they will be the fly to fish as long as we have cloudy water and/or cloudy skies!

Sunny, with a high near 80. Light northwest wind.
Creeks are clear and a bit low with temperatures in the low 60s. It has been an excellent August and the forecast is still great for the dog days of summer!
It’s all about hoppers right now. Fishing them in the riffles and on the banks near undercuts has been a ton of fun with trout sometimes swimming across the creek to smash them!
Tying on a dropper is never a bad idea, but recently there have been days we are fishing dry only as the terrestrial fishing has been that good!

Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Light northwest wind.
Nothing to report really. This August has been downright fantastic for weather. Even this week we are not forecasted to hit above 81 for a high.
Terrestrials are still the hot ticket. Fishing training wheels or larger beetles with a nice splat is extremely effective! The past couple of days we have even cut off the droppers as fish were crushing hoppers.
With the sun out and bright the next couple of days, you just have to choose your timing a bit more carefully. From about 8 am on as the ground dries out and terrestrials start moving the fishing is good. Mid day when the sun is high, the fishing can slow down. Find some shade or take a nap and wait for the sun to start going down (around 5-ish) and fishing will pick up again!

A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 79. Southwest wind 5 to 8 mph.
It’s still terrestrial season, nothing beats a hopper/dropper right now!
We do have some rain forecasted over the next few days. Nothing that should ruin the fishing however! The rains do tend to slow down the terrestrial fishing as wet ants, beetles, and grasshoppers don’t like to move around as much. When this happens, expect much more activity subsurface, especially on scuds! Scuds are FAR more active when the sun is not shining, and if we actually get a little extra water coming through the creeks, the scud fishing in the summer can be fantastic.

Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Calm wind becoming east around 6 mph in the morning.
Warmer and sunny today. Normally that would be cause for concern, but given the good stream flows and temperatures it is actually a good thing for the creeks. With the sun shining down and a slight breeze, the terrestrial fishing will continue to be solid! Toss some ants underneath overhanging vegetation or splat a beetle or hopper near the banks and hold on.
Creeks are in great shape with low-ish flows and temperatures in the low to mid 60s. Only the largest creeks are slow due to warmer water temperatures. Please continue to use your thermometer all summer long. While there are smaller creeks and tributaries out there in the high 50s, some of the bigger waters are hitting 70 plus degrees.

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76. Calm wind becoming east around 5 mph in the afternoon.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained with temps in the low 60s. We have been very lucky with water temps so far this season with only the largest creeks getting into the mid 60s. The rains and cooler evenings have helped a ton.
With sunny days head and the tricos slowing down quite a bit, put your mind into terrestrial and hopper/dropper mode. Trout are loving beetles and hoppers splatted on the surface lately! There are still a few fish rising in the evenings to midges and egg laying caddis. They will also readily eat parachutes and klinkhammers.

A 20 percent chance of showers after 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 81. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
Even with a bit of rain yesterday and into today, things are in excellent shape right now. Creeks are clear to stained with temperatures in the low 60s. This has been a really solid couple of weeks for trout in the summertime!
We are still seeing a few tricos in the mornings, but the spinner fall is much weaker than a week or two ago. Early morning, besides nymphing, we are catching fish on larger (12-14) parachutes and klinkhammers.
From later morning through the day it is terrestrial time. After that, switching to the parachutes or caddis pattern for rising trout in the evening is quite good.
Streamers and mice at night have been really good lately, with a few people hooking some larger fish!

Showers, mainly before 2pm. High near 67. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Clouds and drizzle through the day and into tomorrow. The temperatures are not awful and fishing will continue to be quite good out there! It has been mild enough that we are not freaking out about water temperatures right now. It is still a good idea to check them throughout the day (remember anything over 65 will be slow fishing).
Overall creeks are clear to slightly stained with temperatures in the low 60s.
True hatches are sparse with a few tricos in the mornings, and lighter colored mayflies and some egg laying caddis in the evenings. The main food source is terrestrials!
Throwing and ant or beetle in the mornings, then switching to hoppers when the dew is off the grass can be a ton of fun right now. We have had fish racing to crush a well splatted terrestrial on the surface all week long!

Sunny, with a high near 78. Northeast wind 3 to 5 mph.
Creeks are clear to stained with temps in the low 60s. This has been an excellent summer for trout conditions!
In the midsummer, the timing of good fishing can change a bit. If you are out there too early and the tricos do not show up, fishing is slower until the sun shows up and the winds start to blow a bit. While this might seem to go against everything trout brained at first, remember that the main food item on the surface right now is terrestrials. Early morning dew on the grass and chillier temperatures mean they are not moving around as much. They need a bit drier land and wind to blow them into the creeks!
Nymphing continues to be good all day long. Thinner bodied bugs like zebra midges, spanish bullets and perdigons are excellent, as are the old standby brush hogs and purple drink.
