May 13th Fishing Report

Mostly sunny, with a high near 66. Calm wind becoming southwest 5 to 7 mph in the morning.
  Creeks are very low and clear.  Temperatures are in the low 50s.
The bright, sunny skies and low, clear water are doing us no favors right now.  Fish are extremely spooky.  
Caddis are the main menu item right now along with craneflies.  With the cooler mornings, fishing has not been great early.  Then when the sun is shining directly onto the creeks mid day, fishing has not been great (find broken water and fish shady undercut banks).  When the sun starts to dip a bit in the later afternoon things can come alive.  
  We're fishing a hippie stomper and a dropper during the day.  When fish are rising throwing some caddis patterns (sedgehammer has been great lately), craneflies and even some larger mayflies will get rising fish to eat.  Do not forget to move your flies!  Fish are used to their meals being alive and moving a bunch.  The subtle twitch or skitter can be the trigger to get fussy trout to eat.
