September 22nd Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Southwest wind 3 to 6 mph.
 Hottest day in a while today.  Thankfully it will not move the needle water temperature wise due to recent cold nights and higher spring flows.  It will be warm and sunny for a few more days (terrestrial weather) then on the weekend turn to cloudy and possible drizzle (olive hatch weather).  Either way we win!
 Creeks are clear and flowing well with temperatures in the low 50s.  The clear creeks and sunny weather are making fish a bit spooky especially mid day, approach with stealth!
 The hatches are underwhelming with a few olives and midges in the last part of the day, as well as some egg laying caddis.  The main surface activity is on terrestrials right now.  Hopper or hippie with a dropper is staple, but do not neglect fishing ants and beetles underneath overhanging vegetation and next to the banks.
 Subsurface is all across the board, but the general rule of thumb of thinner profile/clear water is holding true.  If the sun goes behind some clouds, or in the early morning and evening do not hesitate to fish something with a bit more meat on it (including streamers and leeches)
