We are seeing a TON OF HOPPERS on the banks and in the water the past few weeks. We have had some success throwing the big foam hoppers on those breezy hot afternoons, even if they don’t eat the hopper you can nail fish on a beadhead dropper. A prince nymph, two bit hooker, hare’s ear, or pheasant tail will do the trick.

Fremont/Cardwell – 80 CFS- Fremont has backed down to it’s minimum flow of 75-80 CFS Still focus on nymphing all the faster water and look for risers in the slower flats. A Parachute Adams or an Elk Hair Caddis have been the go-to dries. PoxyBack PMD, Prince Nymph, All day may, or an rs2 have been our best nymph patterns.

Miracle Mile- 1000 CFS Flows have stayed stable here, and the fishing has been fairly good. PMD’s, midges, caddis, and tricos are all happening at different times throughout the day. A leech followed up with a all day may, mercers pmd, or a hare’s ear has been a consistently good rig. running 2-5 ft indicator to weight with 1-2 B’s.

Grey Reef- 2000 CFS- The Reef’s flows have lowered a bit but the fishing has stayed great still! The trico hatches have been growing everyday, with fish really taking notice. Purple rooster, renegade, royal wulff, or GS trico spinner have all been in the lineup. Nymphing has been good with prince nymphs, barr’s emerger, RS2’s, all day may, and a few leeches every now and then.

As always if you would to book a trip or have any questions don’t hesitate to stop by the shop or give us a call!
