The upper riffle continues to fish well and the salmonflies are beginning to come off in force. The lower reaches of the creek down towards Lake Britton will see the hatch first, expect those reaches to fish the best in a couple of weeks. In the meantime you will see more and more Green Drakes popping especially on the rainy days, this Sunday looks good. Your fly box should contain Rubberlegs, the Hunchback or Jigged Green Drake nymph, and since the fish don't care and there are always Blue Wing Olives and Midges hatching, S&M's and Zebra Midges. This is a spring creek, a full box of Adams in #12 - 18 and dark Missing Links in #14 - 16 should have you covered for any noses poking up.
Hot Flies:
• Lance's Jigged X-May
• Rubberlegs
• Sweet Pea Jigged Baetis
• Pheasant Tails
• Mercer's Missing Link
• S&M Nymph
• Walt's Worm
• Peaches n' Green
• BP Weiss Nymph
