fishing report

[Sam Potter]

The river is still in great shape, with a very good flow compared to the past few years. It is very clear, so try not to to get too close to the area you are fishing to prevent spooking them. Move slow, and blend with the shade, you will be surprised how many more fish you will find.

We fished Wednesday and had a very good morning. I was really surprised how spotty the fish have been feeding on the Trico spinners. A friend of mine and I fished about 50 yards apart and he didn't see any risers. I fished risers for about 2 and half hours. I can not explain it, because he was in a area that has produced excellent dry fly fishing for the spinner fall, forever. We did catch some very nice fish, with the largest a 21 inch rainbow. My buddy also hooked, but lost a brown that was bigger than that. My largest fish was a very pretty 18 inch brown. We fished similar flies, and the fish were eating both.

There are still some yellow stones coming off, but not very many. There are several different caddis coming off in the morning, and every now and then we saw a light cahill. I wouldn't call them hatches, because they are sporatic and variable.
