Water Temps /75


We have been seeing large amounts of adult caddis and certain days mixing in with some pmd action, water temps are fairly constant throughout summer in the warm springs area typically mid 50s/60s. Best bet this time of the year, using drys during low light hours then switching over to a nymph setup when the sun is high in the sky and back to drys when the sun disappears behind the canyon wall. Look for fish to take spent caddis and emergers during mornings, using movement to your nymphs or emergers can entice jolting strikes from big trout. Look for fish that are rising aggressively but there is no bug activity that you can detect on the surface when trying this. Fish will be rising in the shade and close to undercut banks. Sneak Sneak Sneak these fish are sensitive to sloppy casts and quick movement so take your time when approaching fish actively feeding on the surface . Dry fly fishing requires 4x sometimes 5x. Nymph fishing requires 3x fluorocarbon.

Dry Fly's: X caddis , Double Duck cadis, CDC and elk hair, Stimulators, Parachute pmd, Purple haze, Green drake
