Smash, Bang and Boom! That\u2019s pretty much how it\u2019s going right now, the weather is HOT and the fishing is great right now. We are hitting the peak of the hopper hatch and the water is getting low and slow which always has a way of concentrating fish into some select holes.
\nMy approach has stayed more or less the same with only the hours changing a bit. Since the mornings are still a bit cool I am still matching small bug hatches with complimenting size and color stimulators but with the first sun hitting the water or air temp above 75 I am switching right over to the big foam.<\/p>\n

\nDon\u2019t waste time with slow water right now fish need the surface cover and O2 in the moving water. As well fish will hang along deep banks and good rock or wood structure. All sections of the river are fishing well right now and keep in mind the Twisp and Chewuch Rivers will close August 15th so this will be the last two weeks of the season to take advantage of these great tribs.<\/p>\n

My approach to fishing the tribs is more or less the same as the Met just a bit smaller bugs, short leader and finer tippets. The Twisp fishing well through-out the day and the Chewuch comes to life in the evening.<\/p>\n

As well this is prime time for the high-mountain lakes to beat the heat, take in some great views and catch some beautiful fish.
