October 2nd Fishing Report

Season ends soon! You can fish through the 15th of October but it closes completely (no inland trout fishing at all) on the 16th!

A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 3pm. Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 75. West wind 6 to 9 mph.
Creeks are clear and a bit low. Temperatures are in the low 60s to mid 60s but will cool rapidly over the next few days.
The clouds finally arrived! There has been no significant rain and creeks remain clear. The cloud cover should put the trout in a better mood, and there is a chance to see the olive hatch re appear this week! Watch for rising fish in the afternoon.
Otherwise fishing your normal terrestrial with a bead head below, focusing on the shin to thigh deep water below the riffles will catch fish.
With the clouds, the leech and streamer fishing will pick up again toO!

October 1st Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. Light southeast wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the morning.

SEASON CLOSES ON THE 16TH!

Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. Light southeast wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the morning.
The clouds they forecasted today aren’t arriving. Instead we are stuck with another hot and sunny day! Fish early and late, and find the shade to find happy fish. The cloud cover over the weekend should make fishing far better and get the olives showing up in better numbers in the later afternoon.
It’s hopper dropper until the evening when fish will rise to mayflies and midges.
Subsurface fishing has been best on purple drank and surrenders.

September 30th Fishing Report

Partly sunny, with a high near 81. Southeast wind around 6 mph.
Clouds and light rains move in tonight which should bring back the olive hatch. In the meantime continue fishing the hopper/dropper.
Creeks are clear and flowing a bit low with very good water temperatures.
The streamer and leech bit is also heating up. As we head into fall, the fish are starting to get aggressive and pack on some pounds. The leaves are starting to change, temperatures cooling and the trout are happy!

September 29th Fishing Report

Increasing clouds, with a high near 81. Calm wind becoming southeast 5 to 7 mph in the morning.
Things are good here, but improving later in the week. We have clear and sunny skies and while the fishing is still good, fish are quite spooky in the clear water.
Seek out shade, fish early and late, and focus on the turbulent water below the riffles.
Things cool down and get cloudy and drizzly later in the week! We should definitely see the olive hatch return then. For now, it is hopper/dropper and small leeches.

September 27th Fishing Report

Patchy fog before 8am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 77. Southeast wind 6 to 9 mph.
It’s still hopper season, and the creeks are in good shape flow, temperature and clarity wise. It’s the dang sun that is slowing things down! Fish early, fish late and find the shade to find fish.
Hatches are sparse and early and late in the day. Hopper or beetle with a bead head below the rest of the day.

September 24th Fishing Report

Isolated showers and thunderstorms between 3pm and 4pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 4pm. High near 69. West wind 6 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Cool and an overcast afternoon! Couldn’t ask for better weather for the weekend. Even though Sunday will be a bit warmer (high of 75) things are still quite good out there right now, and will only get better with the clouds this afternoon.
Nymph in the morning, later morning switch to terrestrial/dropper, and watch for olives in the later afternoon. There are also some smaller white mayflies out there too (fish a greased lightning!)

September 23rd Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 67. Light north wind becoming northwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained with excellent temperatures in the high 50s to 60.
We’re looking at daytime temperatures barely hitting 70 all week through Sunday. These cool downs in fall provide some really good fishing. Not only are the fish eating terrestrials well, we are seeing some later afternoon olive hatches that have fish looking up. The normal rhythm is nymphing early in the morning, followed by hopper/dropper the rest of the day. If you see fish rising, a film star or tilt wing dun in a darker color to imitate the olives is very effective!
The other nice thing about this weather is that streamers and leeches are very effective again too.

September 22nd Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 63. North wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph.
What an excellent start for the fall. The weather is very trout friendly with highs in the 60s all week long and lows in the low to mid 40s. Bring an extra layer this week for the chilly mornings!
Fish are responding very well to these temperatures. Things are taking a bit of time in the morning to get moving which means we are nymphing early, hopper dropper mid day through the evening, and we are starting to see the beginnings of the fall olive hatch in the later afternoon.
Creeks are clear to slightly stained after the rains a couple of days ago. Everything is in very good shape fishing wise.

September 20th Fishing Report

Rain fell heavy and quick last night briefly muddying things up a bit, but creeks are dropping and clearly quickly.

The cool weather is a blessing and fish are going to be in an excellent mood moving forward! Cool weather and water ahead all week long!!!

September 19th Fishing Report

Sunny, with a high near 85. South wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.
More important that just the fishing report, (hopper dropper etc same as usual for the late summer) the weather coming up looks excellent. Today is hot and sunny, tomorrow we could see some significant rain (which we still need), but starting Tuesday week we get a MAJOR cool down that looks like it will last quite a few days. Highs in the mid 60s, lows in the 40s… This is the weather we wait for all summer long! Look for not only terrestrials to be good, but we should see our late afternoon olives hatching then too (there are quite a few on the rocks ready to go). Get ready to visit for our first taste of true late summer/fall weather!
