Mostly sunny, with a high near 62. North wind 6 to 8 mph.

Creeks are clear to stained (the recent rains did not blow out our waters at all) with temperatures in the high 50s to 60 degrees.  Nymphing in the morning under an edible indicator has been good.  Mid day and later on we have seen sporadic cranefly and caddis hatching.  The surface fishing is not great, but you can still find pods of rising fish every once in a while.  We have also started to see some lighter colored mayflies (cahills and sulphurs) in the evenings.  Nothing we would call a hatch yet, but keep an eye out the next few evenings.

Rain, mainly before 10am. High near 61. Breezy, with a southwest wind 7 to 17 mph becoming northwest in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Creeks remain clear to a mild stain after recent rains.  These soaking rains have been incredible for the fishery, and something we have not seen in a couple of years.  While we are still behind in water, these little rains go a long way to keeping the spring refreshed and the trout happy!

Fishing worm patterns in the stained water, as well as some leeches and larger nymphs has been successful.  On the clear water, a large visible pattern (ground beetle) with a dropper has been great!

The hatches this year have been mediocre at best.  They seem to be pushed later in the day and you will find a swarm or two of bugs here and there.  Watch for caddis if the sun is shining, and small dark (olive color) and light (Cahill color) mayflies on the cloudy days.

Trout like rain.

A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 10am, then a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 77. Southwest wind 10 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Area wide we received about 3/4 of an inch to an inch in the past 24 hours.  The rains fell mostly as soaking higher rains with a few pockets of heavy precipitation.  Overall the creeks are in fishable shape, clear to a medium stain.  Only a couple are running muddy as of this morning.  With the flush and the cloud cover, make sure to have worm patterns, scuds, and leeches along side the normal May patterns.

Sunny, with a high near 82. South wind 10 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.

Warm sunny and windy today.  Saturday is sunny and calm, Sunday we might get some much needed rains.

Creeks are clear and starting to get a bit low.  Nothing has changed hatch wise over the past week or so.  Sporadic caddis hatches in the afternoon/evenings, and fishing below the riffles with a bead head.

Guides have been grabbing PTerdigons lately…

Mostly sunny, with a high near 67. Breezy, with a north wind 14 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

Windy and sunny day again today.  The wind has been detrimental to surface fishing (the poor bugs are getting blown right off the water!).  Most of our success has come subsurface on bubble back pupae fished behind something larger and heavier like a Spanish bullet or pink squirrel.

Creeks are very clear and fish are spooky, consider a longer leader, or if you need to replace your line, a clear tip magnitude infinity line helps a ton under these conditions!

howers likely, mainly before 10am. Cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 76. Breezy, with a south wind 16 to 21 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Cold drizzly morning and a lot of wind all day.  This will be a nymphing day for sure!  While caddis adults are around, subsurface fishing has been better overall.  A Pearl Jam under a training wheel has been excellent right now, and with the cloud cover, scuds should work well all day long.

Sunny, with a high near 64. Calm wind.

Clear skies, clear water, spooky fish!  While the menu has not changed much (caddis, both black and tan hatching sporadically throughout the day), the fishing is becoming a bit more difficult due to spooky fish!  Be as stealthy as possible and lengthen that leader a bit.

During the day, we are still having success with an edible indicator and a bead head below.  Something like a rain drop or Pearl Jam is working especially early in the morning, while drank or a bubble back caddis is a bit better in the afternoon.

mostly sunny, with a high near 68. South wind 6 to 11 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.

Creeks are clear with temperatures in the middle 50s.  It is still chilly at night, so no reason to get out at dawn as things do not start moving until later in the morning as the creeks warm up a bit.  The caddis hatch is spotty, but fish are rising to tan caddis later in the day.  Otherwise, we are fishing beetles with bead heads below.  Something with a bit of flash like the Dr. Fauci has been great lately.

With another peak season weekend, we encourage you to remember to respect landowner’s property (conservation easements only give you about 10 feet of bank, do not wander away from stream side, you will be trespassing!) and each other.  Don’t start fishing upstream of another angler, if there is a car at a bridge and you can not check in with the angler, move to a different spot.  Just communicate and check in.

No changes to the conditions over the next few days.  Everything remains clear with good temperatures and flows.  Dark, thin bodied nymphs in the morning, then caddis pupae in the afternoons.  There is some caddis activity later in the day, mostly size 16 tan caddis.

Mostly sunny, with a high near 59. Light and variable wind becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 18 mph.
