As of 11/7/08 Water flows are holding
at 36 c.f.s.
Water temps have dropped! Morning
and afternoon fishing will be the best.
Evenings may slow a little when it
gets cold after the sun goes down.
On warmerdays there may still be a
bite in the p.m.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fair
Fall going to winter is definitely here. We have
experienced quite a bit of snowfall, lately, in the high
country. Nighttime temps have dropped below freezing
in a lot of areas and daytime temps have been
noticeably colder. It is REALLY cold on the EW in the
morning!!!!!
With the lower winter flow regime now in play there
may not be a whole lotta water to fish. Look for the
typical deeper slots, holes and runs. A trip into Nevada
may be worth it as the ranches do have a bit more
water flowing into the river down there.
Dry Flies:
May not be great dry fly fishing right now. But try fishing
dry/droppers with the lower fall flow regime. Try adult caddis or
hopper dries and caddis emergers, midges or small bwo mayfly
patterns below.
Nymphs:
Midges are a really important food source as we go from fall into
winter. Keep changing your patterns to find what they want. A good
selection of WD-40's #20-24 in black, grey and olive are essential.
Zebra Midges, Disco Midges and glass bead sparkle midges. #20
Micro Mayfly #22 Pheasant Tails, #20 Hare's Ears, #20-22 Barr's
BWO Emergers and Olive Surface Emergers.
Streamers:
White/ Grey Zonkers and Double Bunny streamers fished on the
swing and dead drifted and pulled.
Guides Hint: Pulling streamers during the non hatch periods may produce some monsters. Cover water?Ķafter they see the "trick" a few times the novelty wears off.
