Stream Reports

General Comments
While most streams and rivers are for the most part still fishable, the coming weeks will see continuing cold water temperatures and decreasing flows. Other than tailwaters, hatches will be few and far between.

A note on bugs, hatches and fly selection:
While certain insects are actively hatching at certain times as we note below, the larval forms of all insects are always available in the stream. There may be several age classes of stoneflies, for example, at any given time; there are usually several types of caddis in most streams that hatch at different times, and trout will eat them any time they find them- same with mayflies; midges hatch almost every day, so you'll find a mix of larvae, pupae and adults almost all the time. The point we're making is that you don't always have to use a "match the hatch" approach. If bugs aren't hatching, or if your PMD imitation isn't working in July when the bugs are on the water, try a different pattern that imitates something else that lives in that stream or lake. The bugs are there, and the fish are eating them!

Give us a call before heading out as we may have some info based on what we have heard from customers and our own trips.
