System has seen high volume of fishing pressure and with high temps the floatable water is very limited.
We are fully booked until until July.
Here are a few fish from the month of May and June. We have fished all 5 rivers and have taken fish on all. Please check the temps before you fish.
The fishing is tough right now but we have gotten it done.
Nighttime mousing and smallmouth trips now booking.
Good dry fly fishing and high water have either made it easy for dry fly fishing or tough depending on where you are and what you are doing.
The rivers are tough to wade but the boat has made it easier. With the low warm water early in the season, to now the bugs are a bit confused. It’s a weird year but the fish seem to be pretty healthy. Streamer bite slowed down, nymphing is tough with this much water, but the heads are showing up on top. Hendricksons, March browns and BWOs and caddis have been are meal tickets.
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.
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.
