Fall fishing is around the corner!
The fall fishing forecast is very good. Water levels are
higher than they have been in years for most drainages. The monsoon season was
tough for a week or two with high water, but should pay off with some great
fall fishing. We have already had some
mornings with the temps around 38 degrees, and mid-day highs around 75 – 80.
Nice comfortable days and great sleeping weather.
The fish on all of the mountains streams are still
aggressively taking dry flys, on some of the deeper holes a dropper is needed
for the larger fish. Most of our trips on the high country steams have been
fishing the best between 11 and 3 pm. Most of our guests want to get an early
start, but the bugs aren’t up yet! With the temps getting cooler it takes a
while for the bugs to get active. If you
start too early, the fishing will be getting hot, about the time the trip is
over.
With fall just around the corner, it is time for the BWO’S
to get active and provide some great dry fly fishing. The fish have still been
looking up to dead chickens, black stimulators, hoppers, and small midge
patterns. You just have to find the right fish. Often it is the right group of
fish. You will find a pod of fish eager for one pattern, and then the next
group will ignore your offerings. Just
keep working them, if you want to cheat a little, add a midge emerger and
grease the line up to 3 inches from the dropper.
