Rock Creek’s flows took a bit of a bump with the hot days from earlier this week.  The Flows are just under 1100cfs and that should improve through the weekend into next week.  The dry fly fishing has been pretty spotty with the funky conditions but the nymph and streamer fishing has been much more consistent.  With the flows where they are, getting your junk down to the right depth will make or break your day, so stay on top of that.  The fish also like to displace into the banks and shoreline pocket water, so keep your eyes peeled for those. For nymphs use pheasant tails, hares ears, double beaded stones, egg patterns, Pat’s rubber legs, micro stones, prince nymphs, and San Juan worms.  For top water bugs, bring some March brown, drake dries, or a Gould’s half down to cover that base.  And

HATCHES: Midges, March Browns, Skwalas, and Grey Drakes
