March 14th Fishing Report

Cloudy, with a high near 47. East wind 5 to 9 mph becoming north in the afternoon.
Creeks are extremely low and clear. Temperatures are right around 40 degrees.
There is little snow left on the ground. Unfortunately our fishery is missing quite a bit of winter snow and our creeks are very, very low. Approach with caution as they are gin clear and the fish are quite spooky!
Hatches are on and off and include mostly midges and a few blue winged olives. Your best fishing is right below the riffles drifting a small, thin bodied bug either dark or super flashy.

March 12th Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 24. Wind chill values as low as -7. Northwest wind 8 to 11 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
It’s ugly out there again today. The fish will be active with then bright sun warming the water, but the air temperature will be downright uncomfortable and will instantly freeze you, your fly rod, and the poor fish if you take them out of the water. Better to pass on today and focus heavily starting early next week.
Next week we have temperatures in the 40s to 50s! This should be a kick start to spring conditions.

March 11th Fishing Report

Scattered flurries with isolated snow showers before 10am, then scattered flurries after 4pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 21. Wind chill values as low as zero. Breezy, with a northwest wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Cold today and tomorrow. Sunday it warms up quite a bit! The warm day on Sunday will continue to melt what little snow is left (mostly shaded areas and north slopes). It is possible to get warm enough to muddy things up on Sunday and into Monday. Tuesday is looking very nice at this point! We will keep you posted of course!

March 10th Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 25. North wind 5 to 7 mph becoming west in the afternoon.
Creeks are very low and clear. Temps in the high 30s to 40.
Still waiting on just a bit of a warmup for consistent fishing. While there are windows of opportunity, it just ins’t prime right now. Sunday changes the weather pattern with air temperatures reaching the low 40s!
There is little snow left on the ground right now, so melting isn’t a huge concern, but it is still worth checking water temperatures throughout the day. Once they start to drop, things shut down quickly!

March 9th Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 29. Northwest wind 6 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the high 30s to low 40s.
Creeks in the open valleys are pretty much snow free. Ones with shade still have a bit of melting to do.
The rest of the week is very chilly until Sunday when the temperature is supposed to hit almost 50 degrees. All of next week looks quite good temperature wise and could be the start of thawed out fishing. While there has been decent winter fishing here and there, it has not been worth an investment in drive time yet. Next week should change things!

March 8th Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 41. Breezy, with a southwest wind 6 to 11 mph increasing to 12 to 17 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph.
Sunny and warm (for winter!). The wind will be a pain in the butt however. We go into a chilly stretch of days heading into the weekend (Sunday looks good again).

March 7th Fishing Report

A chance of snow before 10am, then scattered flurries between 10am and noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 32. Northwest wind 10 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Saturday night did give us some rain and significant melting. Things were pretty muddy Sunday. There is fishable water out there right now, and fish have been feeding well on leeches and scuds subsurface. On sunny days there are even some rising fish mid day!
We are still hesitant to say it is worth a long drive for fishing. We’re still only fishing a few hours mid day when water temperatures are climbing, and things shut down in the later afternoon when the temperature drops.
If you are going crazy being inside, the next few days will be relief from cabin fever and you might catch a few fish! Otherwise, wait a few more days as things will start getting better very soon!

March 5th Fishing Report

A chance of rain and thunderstorms, then rain and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm. High near 58. Southeast wind 6 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Quite warm today, and a good chance of rain. This will unlock quite a bit of leftover snow and cause the creeks to turn cold and murky. On paper, it will not be a good day for fishing as things did not re freeze last night and there is already some cold water trickling into the creeks.
We will keep you updated, but things should be back on track quickly as there is not a lot of snow on the ground.

March 3rd Fishing Report

Mostly cloudy, with a high near 31. North wind 5 to 7 mph.
Creeks are low and clear with water temps in the high 30s to low 40s. The past couple of days were good melting days. The creeks stayed in good shape until about 3 pm then they started to show some stain from runoff. Having a cold day like to day will give things a chance to slow down melting wise. We’re heading for a bit of a warmup this weekend that might include some rain. There is not a lot of snow left on the banks so we do not expect too much mud to come with the melting and rains.
Midges, stoneflies, and even some olives are hatching mid day. Nymphing and fishing leech patterns has been very successful while water temperatures are climbing.

March 2 Fishing Report

A chance of rain and snow showers before noon, then a chance of sprinkles between noon and 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 42. Light west wind becoming north 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
There is little snow left on the banks, but there is just enough in the fields and on the hills to chill things down in the later afternoon. It has not gotten warm enough to turn things murky yet. Fishing before the water temperatures drop has been pretty good, but the window of opportunity is narrow (at best 10-2). Once the rest of the snow melts (looking like the weekend may be the time for a big melt) fishing will be good for longer.
Midges, winter stones, and even some sporadic BWOs are around. Creeks are very low and clear which means fish are very spooky.
