Fishing Report & Conditions: ?

The flows are dropping but no reports have been received yet - hopefully we’ll know more by next week.


The normal summer pattern is: Micro Caddis emergence starting around 6 AM, female Trico emergence around 7 AM, and the Trico spinner fall from 9-10 AM. Remember that fish will eat the dead spinners for many hours after the fall stops. PMD hatches are occurring around 11 AM. Later in the summer, the tiny BWO 11 occur mid-afternoon. Caddis emergence, male Trico emergence, and Caddis egg-laying occur in the evening.
