Fishing Locations

The flow dropped slightly and the river is at a good fishable level. The  The fish are still active and fishing is good.  There have been some Skwalla sightings and the caddis are just around the corner with water temps rising.  The crayfish bite has picked up with fish holding over the weed beds. Look for fish in the shallow water where transitions between the buckets are. If you're not picking fish up in the shallows add a bit of weight and begin to dredge the buckets throughout the beds. Make sure to cast above the bucket and allow the crayfish to fall in with a natural dead drift. Fish are also hanging on the banks looking for baetis nymphs and crayfish.  We are right around the corner from head hunting fish on the weed beds and banks for the mothers day caddis hatch. Make sure to have a rod ready for this because it's not worth missing when it pops.
