Fishing Locations

The flows aren't as big as they were at this time last year but it's above normal. Bigger flows can make for some unbelievable streamer fishing. These fish will tuck into banks and soft water and will make them easier to target. The first 3 miles are in perfect shape but expect dirty water to have started coming out of Soap Creek. The midges are hatching and the B.W.O.'s have just begun. The "W" has been effecting the dry fly fishing by blowing them off the water. If you get a day that's calm you will find some heads. The best fishing we are having is with tailwater nymphs; scuds, sowbugs, czech nymphs and worms.
