Live Spring River Fishing report 3-4-12

Windy, windy, windy!

Early mornings have been best, the wind is not as bad. Fishing has been good all day if you can fight the wind.

It's been about a week since the the upper lake has been filled back up and the fishing has stabilize very nice.

We have had Some nice hatches lately but wet flies and spin casting have done the best.

... Like a broken record Y2K's and wooly buggers have been producing very well. Nice browns around 3 pounds or so are being taken.

Spin casters are using bright colored power bait, corn and worms.

It will be windy for the next few days(with a front and rain late in the week), so the bead head wooly's will be good to cast.

A good addition to your bugger is a dropper. My favorite dropper is a Killer Worm from Mad Guy Flies. It is a small chamois fly. Tie on a Grandmas Brownie with 1 BB split shot about 18 inches up the Tippet then tie on about 12 to 18 inches of Tippet to the curve of the hook on the brownie. Tie the Killer Worm on that Tippet. It can be a little difficult to cast( I call it throwing a fly) but it is a very productive way to fish deeper holes for those big brown trout

Didn't do to good this afternoon at dam # 3, they didn't seem hungry.Some of our guest's staying in the cabins fished the campground this morning and said they did really good. Mad Olive did well and worms for bait casters.
