Flow 66.5

Water Temp: 38

We’re not (wimps)! That’s what we heard from Terry, Jeff and Jim as we met on a very brisk Wednesday morning. At nine it was seventeen degrees. So I thought OK it’s your dime and we suited up. When they booked the trip the weather report said sixty degrees. I never got above 24. In a very short time the tailwater has gone to full spawn mode, large redds are all over but in the mornings trout are in the fast water above and below them. It was a great day with seasoned anglers teaching more advanced techniques and showcasing our river. Thanks to Phil for stepping in and helping out.

Early large worms and eggs worked well transitioning to size 20 olive midges in the afternoon.

As is customary this time of year we always suggest watching your step and leaving the redds alone. The rainbows are bright, big and beautiful. Now is a great time to get your day with us on the calendar.

Tight lines,

Ben
