Water Very Clear And Very Low

[timsfly]

Fishing is better than ever on roaring river, lots of nice fish being caught, I know of a 7 and 9 and several

3 pound + fish being caught just this past week.

Still great dry fly fishing, tricos in the mornings, caddis, and B.W.O's most of the afternoons, some

midge activity most of the day, still catching a lot of fish on beetles and hoppers, and ants.

Cracklebacks will catch fish most days, and so will zebra midges, small pheasant tails, small

woolybuggers and gray sow bugs are pretty hard to beat right now.

I'm using 9' 7X leaders right now, if you are using buggers, and larger nymphs, you can get

by with 6X fluorocarbon right now, and if you just fish the riffles, 6X fluoro will work all day for you.

Tan zebra midges are working well, the chamois worm is really good right now, and I'm catching a few on

red san juan worms, but the dry fly fishing is exceptional right now, come over and have some top water

fun.

Black spinners are working every day right now, and green and brown are pretty good also.

Plastics will catch fish every day right now, but use 2 lb low vis or ultragreen line for best results.

Orange, white, cheese and pink is good for the worms right now, and for the eggs, brown, white

orange, and flo. yellow.

Marabou jigs and micro jigs are great right now, olive, and white are the most productive colors,

but on a overcast day the black/yellow has been good, marabou jigs use olive, white, black/yellow

and ginger, these colors are working.

Still fish being caught on small crankbaits and spoons, these fish better in the deeper sections, but

they are working pretty good.

In zone 3 nightcrawlers and powerbait paste or nuggets has been very good, good luck on the river, and

remember, the water is very low and very clear, the lighter the line the better right now, if you got the

right equipment, 1lb line will catch a lot of fish in a day, good luck.
