Had a roller coaster of days. Rain, wind, sun….every day has been dynamically different. All the fish you see below were taken on either hendricksons or caddis, on top. We’ve been over hatched and other days have seen zero bugs. March browns have shown up around the system in the warmer water areas. Hendricksons are still here and caddis bank sippers are here and there. Lots of pressure but at least we have water. Most fish appear to be pretty healthy. Got one with a big rapala mouth on it. We’re all booked until June. If you need a day, say something now or you’ll be out of luck. Most dry fly fish haven’t been easy. Good casting is getting rewarded.
5/1/2021 Fishing Report
We got a nice dose of water. Just what the doctor prescribed. This should make the fish happy and spread out the anglers a bit. Water seems to be holding on and with more to come we’re in good shape.
This morning we have light snow flurries with some higher peaks requiring the snow wiper for the truck.
Yesterday’s wind was difficult but we popped some good fish. Took most on dry and a nice one on a streamer. We had paraleps and some nice juicy female hendricksons hatching. If we found a fish rising we caught it. They were not difficult, you just had to find them. If your out today find a sheltered place and wait for bugs. The fish will do there part.

Not the best of days. Wind was a menace again. We found solid fish rising in little hamlet of no wind. Broke a big fish off on initial roll. Took a great fish on the bobber rig. Bug activity was not good. The system is still low on water. Angling pressure was high on wading rivers and low on boat accessible rivers. Bugs are acting “funny” I spoke with some other river rats and they are saying the same thing. Where are the Hendricksons in there cycle? Are we looking to hard to soon? Weird year but we’re finding fish. Hopefully rain later this week materializes. Dance.

It was where you were today. Some spots had great bugs and fish, some had bugs no fish and some had nothing. Some days are better bopping around. The boat can help and sometimes hurt, remember that. I’ve never seen a boat drive back upstream. Here are a few from today.
Where and when was the problem today. Very weird day. Lots of wind. We had sun early but didn’t seem to matter. Some people were hero’s and some zeros. Hatch is lasting about 2-5pm right now on average. Here are some from today.
