Store open 5 days/week, closed Monday, Tuesday. Will go to open 7 days/week soon. Tons of new everything on the shelves, racks and bins.
End of day report 17:00 - the river is on fire, fish feeding on the surface everywhere! Caddis! Its so ON right now!!!!
Even with the bump up in flow this week due to rain, fishing has been solid. The uptick in flow was actually perfect, not too much, just a push to keep things cool and nice river flow. Though most waders prefer a flow under 1000cfs, for the boats, its outstanding! River is dropping now.
Plenty of caddis throughout the day with solid evening flights of egg layers. BWO on the slop cloudy days. Possible spinners still around. March Browns and Grey Fox could get into the mix soon.
We are having a nice surface feed!
Conditions are just perfect, good flow, good clarity, good temp.
River at 1150cfs. If conditions are cooperative this season, I expect another outstanding year, its already starting off solid!!. Last year was phenomenal for trout and bass. Holdover rate should have been excellent. Expect to see several 20"+ trout coming out of the river this year (already has happened)! and I predict 2 footers lurking! Big fish are there! Expect streamers to produce and nymphing will be productive with a wide array of patterns and sizes, like golden stones, caddis larve and pupa. Start with one big, one small and adjust from there. Lakes and ponds are getting attention and the Crappie bite has been good! Loaded with Night Crawlers, Garlic Night Crawlers and Trout worms. Have a few shiners left in the tank. Looking forward to the reports on the hunting and fishing front. That's it, no more excuses, its time to cast and blast!
