Both Grey Reef and the Miracle Mile saw a little bump in flows, last night. This might throw the fish off just a little for a day or so but after that we should be back on track! Since our last report the fishing has been pretty awesome on Grey Reef, Fremont Canyon and the Miracle Mile. Baetis have been popping, making for some fun light aka “mini rig” nymphing and the occasional dry fly opportunity. The standard nymph has been pretty good as well and the streamer bite has stayed steady to say the least. It has been a really fun start to the month of May!!
If you are planning on heading this way make sure to buy your license before you arrive.
