Water Conditions

Water still fairly clear with scattered algae

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fair-Good

We're switching back to a summer pattern of warm days and midday winds. Between that and the stream flows dropping the fish should start migrating towards the stream channels soon. You can still find them in 25' to 35' but they're now showing in 18' to 22' and they aren't glued to the bottom so make sure you fish several depths. McGee Bay, Layton Springs, Alligator Point, Big Hilton Bay and the west side of Pelican Point are still good bets. Sandy Point and Green Banks are wild cards, I haven't heard anything new. The perch have moved to the outside of the weeds. There are fish in Crooked Creek but haven't heard anything positive. Fly wise black and less flashy are starting to work.
