Fishing Report & Conditions: Fair-Good

With the temperatures as high as they’ve been, there have been no new reports. The normal summer pattern is: micro Caddis emergence starting around 6 AM, female Trico emergence around 7 AM, and the Trico spinner fall from 9-10 AM. Remember that fish will eat the dead spinner for many hours after the fall stops. PMD hatches are occurring around 11 AM. Later in the summer, the tiny BWO 11 occur mid-afternoon. Caddis emergence, male Trico emergence, and Caddis egg-laying are occurring in the evening.
