As everyone
knows, we have been in the grips of a wet spell. All of our streams creeks and
rivers are flowing higher than normal. Because we have had so much rain
recently, I suspect water flows are going to remain higher than we've
experienced at this time of the year in a long time. There is a lot of moisture
in the ground. Right now all this water is messing up our fishing, however be
prepared for the awesome fishing in July and August. For now get the streamer
rods out and go hunting for a big fish. Once the water flows settle down. We
should still experience some excellent afternoon and evening fishing. Expect to
see a lot of insect activity each evening; we will need to prepare for multiple
hatchets. You will see a few different caddis hatching; the most obvious will
be a size 16 light caddis. There will also be some smaller black caddis a lone
with a few other varieties of caddis around. As for mayflies from mid to late
afternoon you will find gray foxes and March Browns hatching. Of course towards
evening we will have the sulphurs hatch and spinner returns.
Just a
friendly reminder, even though we are busy fishing for trout with dry flies and
trying to get our garden work caught up. Fall fishing will be on us before we
know it. If you are planning on fishing the Salmon River this September and
October with me, it is not too early to get your arrangements made. Get your
days in my calendar and more importantly make sure you get lodging on the
Salmon River. Lodging does disappear quickly so making your plans early is a
good idea.
