Fishing Report & Conditions: Good - Very Good

Caddis are starting their migration at 7 AM, while the female Trico emergence is picking up steam. The Trico spinner fall and the early PMD hatch start around 9-10 AM, but the strength of PMD hatch is dying rapidly each day. Trico spinner patterns will work through midday. Late afternoons and evenings hold Tricos hatches, Caddis egg-laying, and Caddis emergence. The rapidly dropping flows are ending the PMD and Yellow Sally hatches while making the fish in these shallow, exposed waters much more vulnerable to bird predation. The tiny BWO should be prevalent soon, living up to their name at a #22-26.
