Up and down weather and high water flows. Not the best things when you are looking to get out after a long winter. Seek out the bigger and slower moving runs and pools. The stocking trucks are out and there are an abundance of hungry holdovers. The smaller streams will fish well from now until July and are a good alternative as long as the temps and precipitation cooperate. Give us a call to book a lesson, wade trip or float trip.
Natural and Olive Caddis Nymphs 8-18, Pheasant Tails 12-18, Stones 6-12, Frenchies, Sexy Walts and other attractor nymphs 10-16, Tan/Olive/Black Hare’s Ear nymphs 10-16, Egg patterns, San Juan and Squirmies, Olive/Black/Brown Woolly Buggers 6-10, Large Streamers 2-4.
The fish are down deep so heavily weighted flies, sink tip lines and leaders or shot is a must right now. If you don’t get down deep you’ll have a day of practice casting.
