As August draws to a close, our thoughts turn towards September fishing and cooler mornings. It is hard to say when the first cold snap will be, but we are eagerly awaiting the return of streamer fishing! Weeds will still be a challenge this time of year, but the fish are happily feeding alongside them. Upcoming daily highs will range from 71°F-84°F. As of this report, flows are 3,900 CFS with water temperatures out of the dam at 64°F.
Dry fly action is still here, albeit tapering off. Trico plumes are present, but the fish have PhDs in the various trico patterns at this point. Anglers are finding some success with caddis, ants and hoppers.
Zirdles, perdigons and patience are the keys to success while nymphing. The nymph bite has been consistently better in the morning to mid-afternoon, while dropping off later in the day. Mending Zirdles in likely water has produced some exceptional brown trout for our clients.
Flashy streamers by the dam have produced some action, but are less effective down river. We're greatly looking forward to great streamer fishing in the coming months.
Drop us a line, and we'll see you soon at the ranch!
