Summer, summer, summertime

The Snake is clear (finally) and fishing! We have been seeing bigger fish as the flows stabilize and trout settle into their summer homes.  The chubby chernobyl has been eaten consistently, but the color they prefer depends on the day and the stretch…try out purple, black and tan, yellow…don’t be afraid to throw a dropper under that foam!  There have been some great caddis hatches lately and a size 12-16 elk hair is the hot ticket if you see bugs in the air.  Mayflies have also been bringing good fish to the surface!

The spring creeks continue to fish well.  The trout have been eating PMDs, drakes, and terrestrials.  If you are looking for a nice walk with great fish, look no further than our private water.

The water temps on the Green have been rising, which means less oxygen and more stress for the fish.  If you are determined to fish it, go early in the morning and hop off early to keep the fish healthy.

Happy trout hunting!
