From Benton Crossing bridge upstream this is barbless flies and lures only, catch and release, open all year. Fishing in and around the Long Ears section has slowed since early August with not many Caddis or Mayfly hatches and virtually no Hoppers this year. We’re hoping to see some bigger Browns start moving up from Crowley as we get later into this month and October then bigger Rainbows later in October into November. This is the “normal” Fall pattern so fingers crossed. We’ll be using a few different methods including working downstream with Caddis, Mayflies, and Buggers and upstream with nymphs ( mostly Yellow Spots and Flashback Pheasant Tails), large Stimulators, and occasionally Terrestrials.
Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
