REPORT:
The upper river is still giving it up on on top and on streamers – especially streamers! A variety of colors are working well with lazy dead-drifting twitches away from the bank. Nice sized fish willing to play. We’re having some fun days on attractor stuff and skwala dries as well. The lower river is still big and muddy, but the salmonflies have begun to come off on the lower river in BIG numbers and they are motivating fish though less than ideal conditions. There’s definitely some fishing to be had on this river if you do your homework.
1/2 OFF Fridays. 50% Off your 1st dozen nymphs and dries! Every Friday – Every Week
HATCHES: Salmonflies, drakes, caddis, baetis.
FLIES: Big button emergers or parachute patterns for the March browns, standard skwala junk with 18″ droppers. Big prince nymphs, Peacock double beads, Griffith’s gnats and zebra midges on sunny days, slow moving crystal buggers or bunny junk in #8s that’re black, olive or rust, double dutch skwala, size 18 adams or purple haze.
