August 4th, 5th, and 6th, 2013

These past few days the fish have been IMG_1454 SMtorturing the nocturnal stone and we in return have been teasing them in the net with our version of the nocturnal! Chubby’s cousin (Gang Green) tied here in the shop special for our guides in the size 14 dry hook seems to be the ticket for right now. Lots and lots of browns have been taken on this fly in the early to late morning with a lightning bug or some flavor of size 16 nymph below it. Hopper fishing is very IMG_1449 SM IMG_1441 SMgood to great right now, so get out your hoppers and throw ‘em! Pearl lightning bugs IMG_1455 SM(size 18) have been the most productive dropper. The traditional bugs like the prince nymph, the pheasant tail and the hare’s ear nymphs have been producing average fish too.  Best luck is in the morning with the cooler air and water. Look out for those sprucies, they are on their way!! Best of luck, Happy Fishing!!!
