Temperatures are starting off chilly in the morning and warming up quickly in the afternoon, thankfully all the water we have been on recently has stayed nice and cool during our current low water conditions. Nymph fishing under indicators or with euro rods has been our most productive technique as of late. If you’re able to get out at first light streamers can be a fun way to cover more water. I would expect the streamer bite to pick up if we get some rain. The extended forecast shows the potential for some showers over the next 10 days. If we do get some rain it’s not a bad idea to have some blue winged olives in your box as they tend to hatch on the overcast drizzly days. The number of match the hatch dry fly fishing days is dwindling. On our most recent guide trips we have still found fishing holding in faster water but expect that to change as cold fronts work their way through and fall temps take over.

Some flies to have on hand this time of the year include a full life cycle of blue wing olives, thread frenchies, iron lotus, walts worms, eggs and GTI caddis. If we do get rain I would still plan to fish stoneflies and worms. Our streamer bins are well stocked with lots of different colors and sizes of dungeons, peanut envy’s, dirty hippies and thrashers. Stop into the shop and check out all of our new fall clothing including new waders, boots and jackets from Orvis and Stio.
