Really good action here on dry flies in the mornings and evenings. You will see fish rising all over the creek here and it is as good as it gets for dry fly fishing. I still can’t believe how well this place has bounced back from the effects of the drought years. This is one of the best spots to really learn fish feeding behaviors and how they react to your presentation. Sizes range from 10″ up to 22″ currently. Go with small nymphs, midges, and worm patterns. PMD’s, Caddis, midges, are coming off daily and the fish are all over them. Nymph it up with some SJ worms, SD Crawlers, gold and black head pheasant tails, and an assortment of midges for some good success!
