Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted September 24, 2010 Root Admin Posted September 24, 2010 Been home a week and still playing catchup. Spent most of the day on a Wapsi and jig order. Moved all my hooks out of the cabinet to make room for big streamers and articulated monster flies that Leonard and Jeremy are tying for me. Lots of other stuff... resort and personal stuff. I can tell you night crawler fishing is pretty good above Short Creek. I took a family out for a couple of hours yesterday late morning and they almost caught their limit. The rainbows were small though - nothing over 12 inches. Some larger ones were eating the tails of the worms I was chucking over the side but when the dad tried to fool them with a tail with a hook in it, they'd turn their nose up at it. Funny to watch. I also get out for an hour on Saturday afternoon and fished the flats above Fall Creek. #14 grey scud was doing real good, fished on the bottom and dragging it a bit. That almost always works. Again, one about 16 inches and the rest about 12 inches. I have heard there's still some good ones up there but the summer I'm sure has taken it's toll on the nicer rainbows. I need to get up below the dam when their running 3 units and see if there's any browns holding in back water and pockets. I usually see them this time in September. Sometimes they'll take a big dry but usually I'm just looking and watching. Did get my Kelly River Alaska report done. It's waiting for my editor to correct all my grammar errors (my wife).

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted September 24, 2010 Author Root Admin Posted September 24, 2010 Not sure what you mean... they start showing up about now and they really start pouring in in October and linger into December. I'd say the peak is the last week in October, first week in November. It's early BUT we still don't know what our numbers are after 2008's high water.
