Fishing Locations

The Stillwater fishing is on!  A copper john or lightning bug underneath a chubby or hippie stomper will pick up fish. The caddis hatch has been decent as well. Fall baetis are also out and about on the colder days.  Always be careful wading and floating on the Stillwater, this can be a dangerous river if you're not paying attention. The morning may start off somewhat slow but as the day warms the fish will start feeding more on the surface. With the recent precipitation in the higher elevations in this area, watch for some discoloration and rising waters.
