 Beginning in April, once a week we will post a brief description of a rig we saw during the previous week that had one of our Kingfisher stickers on the window. When you recognize it as being your car described in our hatch report, stop into the shop and pick out 2 dozen nymphs or dries on us!
This week’s winner of the two dozen free flies, just for having a Kingfisher sticker in his window, is a….. (drum roll) Black Suburban: with the last two digits of the license plate being… 90 Drive your rig down to the shop and pick up your bugs! Thanks for being a Kingfisher customer.
Rock Creek is going to be a great wade fishing option for today. The river is still a little high and slightly off color, but manageable and fishing well. The main hatches up here have been March browns and the occasional skwala on top. Other than these menu items, Tandem nymph rigs and streamers are working well underneath. Use San Juan worms, dark bodied double beaded stones, olive Pat’s rubber legs, prince nymphs, copper johns and pheasant tails for nymphs. For streamers, big double bunnies, Dalai lamas, dark articulated meat bundles, big buggers and sculpzillas should all turn big fish today. With the higher flows it’s important to keep your junk tight to the banks and in any slack water you find up here. When the current picks up like this, the fish move to areas that are less work for them. And just like me, trout are lazy.
Browns Lake is iced off, open and fishing well. However, the private land owners surrounding Browns Lake are now enforcing there NO trespass rights. All the bank fishing with the exception of the public land at the south and east sides of the lake is now closed to walking. We have provided a map showing the property lines and places to legally access the lake. The boundaries highlighted with green are open to the public.
