Fishing Locations

The Upper is in great condition!  Fish have lots of food options right now, this is the time of year when it pays off to switch up flies often until you find what they are keying in on. Salmonflies, Goldenstones, Yellow Sallies and PMDs are out depending on what stretch of the river you are on. Salmonflies are up high right now.  Also, worms, caddis larvae, soft hackles and larger mayfly attractors are all working subsurface. Don't be afraid to experiment with more weight if you aren't getting into fish. An extra split shot can often be the difference between simply fishing, and catching fish.  Streamer fishing has been hit or miss lately but afternoon storms have had some nice browns on the chase.  White still seems to be the hot color.   ** Varney Bridge is open to traffic**
