REPORT:

Back to being fish and user friendly as water levels drop and the daytime highs start to think about creeping upward again.  It’s going to take a few hours for the water to warm up a bit since it’s starting out this morning at 40 degrees.  By early afternoon, though, you should have fish willing to eat a variety of caddis, mayfly and smaller stonefly dries.  The river bottom is FULL of big, fat salmonfly nymphs that are getting ready to hatch, so anything along those likes would be a good bet.  Patterns like big double beaded stones, girdle bugs, Kauffmans, black or brown sili legs etc . . .  Slow moving and SMALL bodied streamers will also be effective as things warm up a bit.  Tomorrow through the weekend should be epic on the creek.  This morning’s flow near Clinton is 542 cfs compared with 1900 on this day last year.

1/2 OFF Fridays.  50% Off your 1st dozen nymphs and dries!  Every Friday – Every Week  

2 VERY good Rock Creek streamers that’re $2.25 a piece at The Kingfisher Every day, Every week.  Might want to compare that to some other shops.  All our double beads are $1.95 ea. every day too . . except on Friday’s when up to 12 of ’em will cost you 1/2 that!

 

FLIES: A variety of caddis patterns in about a #12, comparaduns and cripples in 14s, March brown emergers, double beads, Brooke’s stones and big princes right off the bottom. Buggers both brown and black.
