May 6th Fishing Report
Increasing clouds, with a high near 57. Northwest wind 5 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.Creeks are clear to stained. The main branch of the Timber Coulee and the West Fork continue to show some heavy staining. Everything else is in excellent shape. Even the heavily stained waters had about 6 inches of visibility yesterday so they are still fishable.
Search for that slightly stained water! Trout are much happier when there are clouds in the sky and the water has a bit of color!
The worms are out in force today after the rain, do not be afraid to fish worm patterns this morning.
Caddis and craneflies are the top items on the menu on the surface, watch for splashy rises and you know fish are feeding on them.
Subsurface fishing has been good on pretty much everything, with fish favoring scuds, caddis larvae, and pink squirrels (thicker bodied patterns).
On the creeks with the heavy stain, fish a leech, worm farm, or larger scud.
