Roaring River Sitll In Good Shape

[timsfly]

The river is still in fine shape, it is getting very clear, it cleared up a lot on friday and saturday.

Still great dry fly fishing, adams, blue wing olives, caddis, midges and lots of beetles and ants.

Stimulators, renegades, bigger humpys and royal wulffs are still working great.

Nymph fishing is still the best way to catch #'s of fish all day, the pheasant tail, burlap

sow bugs, copper johns and zebra midges are working well all day long, hares ears, prince nymphs,

and brassies are also working well.

We have not had much rain over our way the past few weeks, there have been some showers

but nothing to mess the river up.

If you are fishing marabou jigs, olive, black/yellow, white, cream, and tan colors are all working.

Crankbaits, spoons, and small spinners are working well, the gold spoons, the crawdad crankbaits

and spinners in a black, olive, or brown have all been working well.

Plastic baits will catch a lot of fish right now, if you are fishing worms, then cheese yellow, orange,

white and pink have all been working.

If you are using eggs, then hatch brown, white, and orange have been the best colors.

Lots of people are fishing in zone 3, nightcrawlers, corn and white powerbait has been working

well.

With the clearing water, it is very important to use 2 or 3 pound fishing line right now, no heavier

than 4lb and only use the 4lb if you can't see the 2 or 3 pound.

don't use a blue, clear/blue, or white fishing line, use a line that is ultragreen, fluorocarbon, or a light brown

color, good luck, this week.

I may have changed my mind, looks like its going to be raining most of the day. Not sure if its worth the trip in gas if im not going to get to fish that much!

Tim, I about got attacked by a snake yesterday! I was fishing the second hole in the C&R and mom saw one. Next thing I know that snake has swum down the current and is about a foot in front of me and is looking straight at me. I freaked out and it left. Later on I saw it and it was in front of me again. Started swimming towards me and I freaked again and it swam off. Not really sure what it was but it was tan and brown... Looked like a diamondback O_o

But the fishing was great after we left the shop! I started casting a chrenobyle and could only get looks. There was a fish that was sitting behind a rock and he would just look at it. I plopped that beetle in there and *THUMP* the fish took it first cast. Good fish about 16"

I love beetles... lol

Zach, sounds like the same little watersnake that terrorized my wife while we were wading together Sunday afternoon. I told her to just ignore it. Needless to say she wasn't very happy with me. Dan-o
