May 23rd Fishing Report
Increasing clouds, with a high near 63. North wind 5 to 8 mph.Partly cloudy all weekend. Sunday will get a bit warm, but nothing too bad for this time of year.
Overall creeks are low and clear with temperatures in the high 50s. With the clear water and some sun in the sky, fish are far spookier than normal. When the clouds come over, they calm down and are much more friendly.
Caddis are still the main item on the menu with fish rising to them most of the day. If the clouds stay overhead in the afternoon and evening we are seeing some Sulphurs and other mayflies. Nothing we would call a hatch yet, but they are becoming noticeable.
Terrestrials are more and more effective every day. It is the start of the beetle and foam attractor hatch! Fishing a beetle, or a hippie stomper/ chubby Chernobyl with a bead head below is a go to now and throughout the rest of the season.
