Current Water Conditions

Water temperatures are in the high 60s, clarity remains good, and flows are low. As the water continues to warm, larger trout have moved into the deeper pools farther downstream, making those areas the best places to target bigger fish. Dry fly fishing has been productive, with Parachute Adams, Royal Wulffs, Black Elk Caddis, and Mosquito patterns all producing consistent action. Anglers throwing hardware should have success with smaller inline spinners like Rooster Tails and Panther Martins. For bait anglers, free-drifting an unweighted nightcrawler through riffles and into deeper pools has been especially effective. The Mohawk Bridge and Clio areas continue to offer some of the best fishing opportunities.
