Fishing Reports

Here is the Trout Report followed by the Steelhead report:
We are having good days on the Lower from Warm Springs to Trout Creek. Throughout the day we are getting most of the fish on Caddis Pupa and small bead head nymphs. In the evening the fish are coming up to PMD's, PED's, Caddis and Rusty Spinners.

We are into our 2010 steelhead season with a couple of Mack's to the Mouth trips under our belts. The fish are just coming in but it looks like it is going to be another great year. Last week the Steelhead count was 244% above last years count (year to date) at Bonneville Dam. Anyway, we got 12 fish on the 2nd trip and 4 on the 1st so it is a good start and only going to improve from here.

The "big" stuff is done and we are now into summer mode: That means PMD's, Caddis and Pale Evening Duns.
For Nymphs we've been having good luck on caddis pupa, PT's, angel case emergers, soft hackles and icy princes.
Don't forget your Purple Haze dries!

The water is coming down fast and while not at normal summer flows it is totally fishable.
We just started guiding it again after the week of blown out, ugly conditions and it was awesome.
There are still Golden Stones and some Salmonflies in the Warm Springs to Trout Creek area. The Fish are definatley still keyed in on Golden Stone adults, this won't last too much longer so get here now! The good news is the Caddis hatch is also really good and that will last for the rest of the summer along with PMD's and Pale Evening Duns.
Nymphing is very good with Angel Case Emerger, Fox's Poopah, Sparkle Pupa, Flash Back PT, PMD soft hackle, Icy Prince and Serendipity.

The Water is really high. It has been over my personal threshold of 5500 cfs since last Thursday and is running 7200 cfs tonight. It is a bummer to cap off the 2010 salmonfly and golden stone hatch with such high flows. The bugs are still out and this would have been a primo week to hit it! Customers are still coming in and reporting good to great catches in places where they can find wadeable water, which at 7000 cfs is far and few between.
My advice would be to play it safe and wait until the water drops below 6000 again.

SALMON FLIES! Crazy good. Get here now!!!!

Salmonflies are out at Trout Creek and working their way to Mecca & Warm Springs. The next 2 weeks will be the best! Get over here now!!!
