June 19th Fishing Report
EDIT 1:15. Light rain in the area, but a very short band and will not do anything to the fishability of the creeks. No rain before and nothing really following this band until later tonight. We will keep you updated!Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 77. Southwest wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
So far, it looks like the heavy stuff is going to miss us. We have clear to slightly stained creeks area wide with water temps in the high 50s to low 60s. This rain will help cool things down and put a stain back on the water. We will keep you posted as things progress because the forecast is changing hourly it seems!
Hatches are sparse lately with some sulphurs, craneflies, and cahills showing up seemingly randomly in the evening. Expect happier surface feeders if the cloud cover stays in the area!
Small terrestrials are also great right now. As it gets windy before the rains, fishing an ant or beetle, especially under trees or overhanging grass can be deadly. Do not be afraid to let your terrestrial sink a little bit!
Subsurface fishing is great right now both high lining heavy nymphs on the bottom and fishing a dropper below a large foam attractor pattern.
If the rains hit and cloud the water up, tie on a leech or smaller streamer and hold on!
