Sorry about the gap in reports. we had some technical difficulty with this site and just got to finally log in again for the first time in awhile.
Anyways, The hopper fishing has been a blast. The biggest fish are beign caught in some of the skinniest water imaginable. The fish are holding tight to the banks and when you throw the right hopper it is hard for them to say no. Along with the great hopper fishing the nymphing has remained very consistient and has produced very well. Nymphing with very light weight in some of the faster shallower areas will get you into some great fish. You can see most of the fish you cast to so sight fishing has been great. PMD's are starting to be seen in sparse numbers so stay tuned for news on that!
Flies to try: As far as hoppers: Stalcups Hopper Size 8-10, Hybrid Hopper size 6-10, "THE HORROR" size 8-10. For Nymphing: Two Tone Worm, grey and tan ray charles size 16-18, pink and grey soft hackle sow bugs size 18-20, and natural sow bugs size 16-18.
The black caddis hatch is just around the corner!!! Call to make your reservations before it is too late.
Will report again soon,
Eric Anderson
