Water temperatures are cooling down do to cold overnight lows reaching the low 30’s. Water clarity is very good and flows are nice for this time of year as well. Picked up a couple of fish yesterday on the Main Stem, one on a dry fly and another nice brown on a streamer, Kind of a slow day but was very peaceful and nice to be on the water.

The rivers have been fishing pretty decent lately. There has been some surface activity as of late, and the streamer bite has also been decent, along with nymphing techniques. Olives have been the bug of choice and with today’s forecast calling for sun, there is a good chance of seeing a little caddis activity as well. Flows are still flirting with floatable levels, most likely limiting your options to the lower West and the Main Stem.

Fishing reports boast decent action the past few days with the absence of the wind we had been getting earlier in the week. Rivers are in good shape, but drift boat access may be limited to the lower sections of the West Branch and the Main Stem. Streamers continue to be effective, along with nymphing, and with the presence of small Olives the past few days, there has been some dry fly action as well.

Temperatures have dropped, and will continue to drop over the next several days given the forecasted lows this coming week. Flows on the West Branch have dropped as well, but is currently floatable for the most part. The East, and the Main Stem both have good water levels and are running slightly clearer than the West. The insect activity has seemed to pick up a little the past couple days, with a fair number of small Olives, but there has been few rises, most likely due to the windy conditions we have had. Rivers look good!

Flows are looking great today across the board. Water temperatures dipped a little last night, hopefully priming conditions for a good day of fishing today with the mostly sunny forecast. As temperatures start to warm, we should see an increase in fish and insect activity as the day progresses. Streamers work well at these flows and we suspect there will be some surface action as well. Nymphing is also a great option this time of year, and has probably been the most productive technique over the past couple weeks.

Rivers are up slightly today from last night’s rains. Water clarity does not seem to be affected by the additional water. Temperatures have risen slightly, but remain favorable. Nymphing and streamer fishing have been the most productive according to reports, and there has been some occasional surface activity. Olives and caddis, for the most part, are the bugs of choice. Rivers are in great shape!
