Water temps are rising, snow is completely gone along the river banks, which means one thing.. FISHING IS ON! And so are the crowds. Prime runs that were blown out with high flows, are now fishable with some lead of course...There is a select number of bugs on the menu for the fish right now, so with that in mind fish smaller flies between sizes 16 to 22. These smaller flies (copper johns, worms, flashback baetis emergers) have been producing a large number of hookups lately. The water clarity has significantly cleared up, making the fish a bit spooky near the banks. The weather forecast for the upcoming week looks to be cloudy, which is great for fishing! Below are a few photos of the days events, courtesy of da Dean. The rainbow below had a great purple coloration along the lower side of his lateral line, took a size 18 baetis emerger and ran me 100 yards downstream.. The tug is the drug!
I'm out like a brown trout...
