Fishing report Nov 7th.
(Preview)
I've been semi-lurking on this board, leeching info from the regulars.? One tip found here, however, was so productive, I thought I'd better give back some goodies. The Fishing Report: Since the flows appear to be up a bit, I thought I'd start at the bridge.? The current still looked anemic to me and th...

sunday midday
(Preview)
Today's flow was a tad higher than the previous 4 Sunday midday trips at my spot. Wading wasn't a problem but today I only witnessed a baitchunker catch one small planter and that was it. Not alot of fly fishermen. I didn't spy any fish in the water, only one maybe breaking the surface, and of course a skun...

Too Low Flow?
(Preview)
The flow at the creek is super low and some good runs are now exposed. Do the the flows stay this low all winter or do they let more water out? How can i find out when/if they are letting water out?

Nov. 08 Report

? Hit the creek at about 10am, weather was pretty nice, lots of bug activity in the air. I found some risers, but it took me about 6 or so patterns to match what they were taking. It's hard to tell sometimes when there are 3 or 4 different mayflys hatching along with caddis and midges. Once I started using a l...

Hit the creek at Noon and fished till dark......a few bait fishermen, but not too bad as far as being over-crowded for a nice Friday afternoon. I tried my usual favorite patterns for this time of year and the fish seemed keyed in on my #24 RS2 with no weight attached.? When I tie up these small RS2's, I like...

With the low flows, I switched to using a caddis dry as an indicator with a...
