Fishing Locations

Water temperatures are looking great on the lower and the fishing has been fairly consistent. No need to head out too early, as we have seen the fishing improves as water temps rise throughout the day. There is still the occansional fish eating a hopper, but nothing like they were a week or two ago. However, with the clouds and rain, BWOs are out and the fish are taking notice. Don't head out this way without some in your box. Along with the cooler water temps, the nymph bite has solid as of late. Crayfish, worms, soft hackles, caddis pupa, and attractor mayfly patterns are our go to's. Streamer fishing is taking off and some big browns fell victim for some bigger flies in yesterday's rain. For now, smaller natural colored streamers have been working best, as the big articulated flies are getting more refusals than eats. Don't ignore the wooly bugger out this way either!
