This week there is a lout
more going on, a bit different from last week. Fist we did some more scouting
on some new trout water. I am very please by what we found so far. Trout
fishing in mid to late August is not the beat or the easiest trout fishing, but
we did very well for this time of the year. Water flows and temps were good we head
a few bugs around. This trout creek has a big hatch of Ios’s or more commonly
known as the slate drake. This Creek also have in large population of
stoneflies, apparently large enough to have stoneflies constantly catching all
through the fishing season. We were able to catch all three trout, Brown trout,
Rainbow trout, Brook trout. There is
several miles of quality trout water and this trout creek is a little isolated,
we are fishing in the woods. The fishing pressure seems to be light as far as
we can see. We have a lot more research to do. I will keep making updates as
the project develops.
Now for the local trout
streams, as we all know water flows have been up. The dry fly fishing has been
extremely difficult, partially due to higher than normal water flows for this
time of year. For now the best approach would be, concentrate your efforts with
streamer fishing. This way you can cover a lot of water and possibly find small
pods of fish that might be feeding on the surface. Just keep in mind it is late
August and there is a lot of big fish food around, plus not many bugs left to
hatch.
We all know that salmon
season is close at hand. In fact this past week there was a small run of salmon
on the Salmon River. We had a cool day with stiff northwest winds and the water
flows were up. In came a few salmon, not a big run but just a few fish. Some of
you might be familiar with one of our guides, Rick Smith. Rick was on the water
the other day checking out the rumors of the salmon. What he found was quite
interesting. If you were looking, you didn’t find anything. However if you went
fishing, you would keep popping into an ad salmon. They were spread out through
most of the river. If this becomes a pattern, then we can count on an early run
of salmon. But for now I do not expect the salmon fishing to kick in until 1
September.
I still have prime dates
available for salmon fishing, In September, 14,15,16,19,25,30 and early October
Salmon fishing and mid October steelhead fishing. Anyone that has any questions, Feel free to
give me a call at your convenience cell is 585-233-0436
