Fishing conditions:  Great

Report: It is warming up and the fishing continues to improve with good hatches going off and the weed beds filling in nicely. PMDs are coming off now in force, Callibaetis will be soon. Look for spinner falls in the morning, fish will be sipping them on the side seams where the spinners collect. Good flies during a hatch PMD Challenged or the Film Critic, Rusty Spinners for the spinner fall in the morning. Other things to keep on your radar are Water Boatmen, Callibaetis, Yellow Sallies, and Blue Wing Olives. Good dropper flies are Sweet Peas, Two-Bit Hookers, Red Micro Mays, and Russ' Sin City. Strip Pine Squirrel Leeches and Water Boatmen in the mid-day and afternoons. If you would like to set up a day on the Fall, give a call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474 to set up a trip!
