Flow: 62
Water Temperature: 57
While most of the top fishing waters experienced highs in the forties our nine miles of tailwater heaven hit a beautiful 70 degree sunny Sunday with hungry trout. Saturdays’ winds foiled our plans of hunting carp below Pillars Park following a TU sponsored cleanup day. Thankfully nymphing for big trout never gets dull. Bows and browns are seeking feeding lanes in fast water with turbulent cover. Cast to the center seam and walk your presentation downstream ‘till you find fish. The water is gin clear and sight fishing opportunities abound. Trout aren’t near as spooky as last week but keeping low and slow is still key. Top flies were 16 BH GR olive hares ears, eggs, san juans, 18 FB pheasant tails above wd40s. Registration is open for the Frostbite Fish-Off http://www.chapter509tu.org/FrostbiteFishOff.htm.

Tight lines,
