Hot and hot, that would describe the weather and that would as well describe the fishing as of late. Water has been essential not just for a good time but also as a means of keeping ones core temperature down a bit…so kill two birds and all that.<\/p>\n

\nThe dry fly is the story right now. You can go ahead and bust out nymphs or streamers to whatever degree of success but nothing I\u2019ve seen beets watching surface destruction on the dry fly. I have been starting the morning with stimulators and switching to hoppers as the day progresses. No need for a dropper, most fish will ignore it on the way up.<\/p>\n

The primary hatches as of late have been Duns, Greens Drakes, Yellow Sallies, Sedges and a few Golden Stones. I like targeting fish in deep back eddies, gentle riffles and slicks with naturals and pounding banks with larger flys.<\/p>\n

Speaking as one born and raised here I still find myself surprised at the quality of our trout fishery and excited at its future potential as hook and release continues to mature over population and re-enhancement projects begin to yield their benefits.<\/p>\n

\nThere were multiple over 20 inchers to the boat this weeks and so many great fish it\u2019s hard to keep track but it is really just getting started as far as this season goes. I have noticed the fish starting to take a siesta around 2pm-4pm (as they should) however even during that time the ones that count seem to have been coming up. Look for mid-day fishing to be a bit slower and for the morning to start right out with drys bright and early.<\/p>\n
