We may be experiencing the last days of Summer surface action over the last week and what a fantastic week it has been. Trout are starting to change into their beautiful Fall colors to match the changing leaves and with the Autumnal equinox we are seeing Streamer fishing coming on in a big way!!
Streamflows are staying consistent and perfect at 1,150cfs@Kirby and 1,310cfs@Cameron. Trout have begun to move into the shallow riffle water and Whitefish have begun spawning. Conditions are perfect right now to catch the trout of a lifetime, the behemoth Trout are making their presence known and are on the hunt, hopefully, for the fly at the end of your line!
This past week Dries were consistently good as soon as it warmed up and through the afternoon if you could throw them in mixed windy days! Nymphing and Streamers have been consistent, smaller Nymph combos and Streamer/Nymph combos have been productive; Trout are starting to pod up and if you catch one fish in a hole you most likely will find many more.
