Recent reports indicate this is a great option with lots of fish and some big ones too. You can also get lucky with some fish eating up top all fall and winter. Fish can key on Blue Wing Olives. Good flies will depend upon what fish you are targeting, the stockers will chase Crystal Buggers and swung Zug Bugs, and a small black Balanced Leech is always a good choice here. For the BWOs, bring your S&Ms, ZT's Jig Nations, and BP Weiss Nymphs for nymphs and for dries the Milla Time May BWO and Hackle Stacker Baetis should have you covered. A full complement of assorted Adams and Dark Missing Links in #14 - 18 will keep you in good stead with whatever is hatching. Water Boatmen should be a thing still. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
