I know what you’re thinking upon viewing this…it has been a long time since I’ve posted a fishing report. The fishing has picked up nicely the past 2 weeks, and the weather looks good for the weekend with temps in the mid 70’s to mid 80’s and only a small margin of the likelihood ofRead more >>
Fishing Report 6.5.19
The fishing has been slow to good at best with some very good days, but they have been few and far between. I know it sounds bad to report such news, but Ronda and I are all about telling the truth. Please do not be swayed by others who might tell you that the fishingRead more >>

Well another opening day has come and gone, and it was an uneventful one in terms of fishing at best. All signs were pointing to a good hendrickson hatch…the water temps were above 52 degrees at Parmalee and Mio for 5 days running (51 degrees is the optimal number), and bugs should have been thereRead more >>

We are in full swing with terrestrials now….hoppers, bees, ants, etc… Trico’s are also going strong in the morning and small olive’s with large spinner drops of them in the evening (last hour before dark). On a recent trip (somewhere in North America) I was able to take our son Trevor and a friend (toRead more >>

It’s surely been a while since I had the time to write a bonafide fishing report, thus, my sincere apologies! This past summer was one of the best trout fishing seasons I’ve seen in a long time, therefore, we’ve been quite busy! My guess that the fishing was so good was partly due to theRead more >>
Fishing Report 5.8.17
Finally. The water is coming down, and I felt that the Ark I was building could be put on hold for a while! The South Branch and Mainstream is nearly down to normal levels the last day or so. Water temps have been in the low to mid 50’s, and the fishing has been good.Read more >>

Hendrickson’s! They’re here! A few sporadic Hendrickson’s started showing up the middle of last week, and with the air temp sky-rocketing the last few days (it was 77 degrees at on point today), the water temp has followed suit as well. This weekend will be stellar for hatching, and hopefully some catching too! In theRead more >>

Good Day All! Hex have been going strong for over a week now, and are already showing signs of weakening in some areas. Temps were high last week, along with high dewpoints and warm evenings raised the water temps into the low 70’s causing slower or even an entire lack of feeding for a lotRead more >>
