This spring fed river stays around 47-52 degrees year round and it fishes like a spring creek! ��Averaging 1-3 fish an hour is the norm.�� Have patience... it takes quality time on the water to get a feel for this river's complex character.�� Patience will eventually lead to fishing success.�� This is a stalking trout stream, casting from your knees and from behind bushes to hide yourself from fish will help out--alot.�� Wading often spooks fish, if you can hit the spot without getting in the river, you are already ahead of the game. Goldenstones are but a memory.�� PMDs are slowing down alot, but on warm sunny days, they still can show up. ��Tan, green, and brown caddis are around too.�� Little green stoneflies become impotant food this time of year and BWOs begin to be the main mayfly.�� Keep an eye out for Mahogony Duns, fish can really turn onto these.�� The Fall Green Drakes are hatching. October Caddis nymphs are a good choice too.�� Bull Trout are getting ready to spawn and they are even more aggressive than usual this time of year.�� Remember, prime rainbow trout fishing is between noon and dark, sleep in!
NYMPHS: Batman, green rock worm, serendipity, sparkle pupa, October caddis nymph, assorted mayfly nymphs as listed above.
