Finally finished up the
steelhead season, this year the run lingered a couple weeks later into spring longer
than normal. Now it’s time to move our attention to the trout streams. Water
flows have been a challenge of lately. Depending where you are fishing, you
could have ideal water flows or you could be still waiting for waterfalls to
come down. However despite the cool weather and late spring, our bug hatches
seem to be running about on schedule. A few days of warm weather goes a long
ways to getting everything back on schedule.
Over the next few weeks we
are going to see a lot of bugs on our trout streams. As of now we have three
different caddis hatching, the most prevalent is a size 14 light Caddis. There
is also a small size 18 black Caddis and A size 14 caddis known as mothers day Caddis
that is still hatching. For mayflies the sulfur are now starting to show up in
all of our trout streams. Look for bug activity starting around midday and
going through till dark. We will see the gray fox and March Brown’s soon. The
next few weeks we will have some of the best dry fly fishing for entire trout
season.
