With all the warm weather over the past 3 weeks the fishing is still very hard! Very few fish were reported being hooked over the weekend on all parts of the river. The water temperature is not so bad in the mornings at 68F but it gets up there in the afternoon to 75F or higher in some parts of the river. With cooler days and nights coming this week in the forecast, it may improve the fishing and keep the temperatures down and then we may see an increase in some fish coming in.

There are lots of fish holding in the Brooks and at the mouth of the smaller tributaries. Cumulative counts to date of salmon as of July 31, 2007 at the Southwest Millerton Trapnet are Salmon 301. And for grilse is 865 as of July 31, 2007. The percentage is that they trap between 8 to 10% as they are moving up stream. This is down from last year but still are not bad numbers to date with all the warm weather that we have had so far.

Flies of choice the last couple of days were brown bombers with orange hackle and green machines.

Bye for now,
