back2roots Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Hi Everyone, Heading to RR for the first time to do some fly fishing.....Saw the maps and will for sure use them...Thanks Phil!!! Just looking for some late summer clues as to what to use. Thank you!!! Bill If you liked the sound....Thank the engineer!
Members Lucky Fly Posted September 7, 2010 Members Posted September 7, 2010 Fished RR Saturday. Had a great day. Typical fly selection would be small pheasant tails, scuds, sowbugs, san juan worms, small wooly buggers, and eggs for subsurface and beetles, ants, small caddis, hoppers, and an adams for surface fishing. Used the basic selection and consistently caught fish all day. Water is low and clear so use 7x for dries and 6x for nymphs. Stop by Tim's and he can set you up with anything you need and give you an up to the minute report. Tight Lines Steve "Trout Don't Live In Ugly Places"

timsfly Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Water is still low and clear, we have had very little rain the past few weeks, areas around have been hit pretty hard with water but R.R. is still fishing very well. Dry fly fishing has been great, adams, hoppers, caddis, beetles, ants, stimulators, lt. cahills, griffiths gnats, renegades, and cracklebacks have all been working great. Nymhphing has been good, just had a customer come in and buy some Whitlock squirrel hair nymphs and some more pheasant tails, said he had been tearing the trout up on both. Good #'s of trout were caught this weekend on Pheasant tails, hares ears, burlaps, copper johns, sow bugs and zebra midges. Still need to use 9' 7X leaders and put plenty of 7X on you leader when you are tying on new tippet, 3' or more if you can throw it will work better than 24". If you have a light rod now is the time to be using it, 1,2,3, or 4wt rods will work better right now when using the 7X tippet, you can still use a 5 or 6wt rod you'll just have to be more careful when setting the hook and fighting the trout. Spin fisherman did well this weekend, power eggs and power worms did very well, lighter colored baits did best, cheese yellow, white and pink were really good producers this weekend. Brown, black, and skunk roostertails were still working, as were black/yellow, white, olive and dk. brown marabou jigs. Micro jigs are still working very well, olive, black/yellow and tan are still the best colors. In zone 3 night crawlers, corn and white power bait paste is working very well. If you are spin fishing use 2lb line that is not white, blue or the florescent camo stuff, use fluorocarbon lines, or maxima and you'll do better, 4lb is just to heavy right now to catch a lot of trout, if you have to use 4lb, fish early and late and stick to the faster water, good luck this week on the water. Tim's Fly Shop This is this weeks report, this may change due to rain, but at the moment, it is spot on, fishing has been great, I'm heading that way right now.

Members smallmouth61 Posted September 10, 2010 Members Posted September 10, 2010 I'm heading out there tomorrow...hows the water looking? Just wondering if the rain has affected that last report.
back2roots Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 Hey Tim! Thank you for the info! The Pheasant tail nymph and Black Beetle's were the ticket for me. Hooked into a real nice bow in the Catch and Release area Saturday morning. Ended up with a long distance release with that one...but it looked close to 18" or so. Just on the other side of the "F" highway bridge got into some nice one's I could take home for dinner. Will for sure stop by and see you again! Take Care!!! BIll If you liked the sound....Thank the engineer!
