Dry Fly Fishing Getting Better

[timsfly]

It was a very good week here at the park, we still have a strong flow of water out of the spring but it is pretty clear now, you can see fish and they can see you, so 7X and 6X are the norm now, you can still get away with 5X when fishing sculpins, buggers and streamers.

I have been catching alot of fish on elk hair caddis #16's, and #16 adams, and crackle backs have been good also, I'm using a green body, grizzly hackle on mine right now.

Nymph fishing is still very good, I'm fishing copper johns, with zebra midge or micro egg droppers, and san juan worms, chamois worms and small sow bugs have been effective all week.

We are still catching a lot of trout on big buggers in the morning, and smaller baby buggers in the afternoon.

I have had some good reports on fisherman catching several fish in the afternoons on beetles and ants, and even a few being caught on hoppers already.

I caught one on friday on a huge # 8 foam ant, I guess he was extra hungry.

Anyway fly fishing is getting better all the time, so come give it a try, see ya on the river.

Where on the internet would I find a stream guage, or some other indicator of the water level at RR?
