LOWER RIVER: ~1200CFS. RUNOFF IS HERE! DON'T LET THE HIGH WATER KEEP YOU AT HOME THOUGH, WE HAVE STILL BEEN PRODUCING FISH ON PRIVATE AND PUBLIC WATER. THE RIVER HAS BEEN ON THE RISE AND THAT MEANS WORMS ARE GETTING FLUSHED IN THE RIVER AND STONEFLIES AND MAYFLIES ARE GETTING PUSHED AROUND AS WELL. WE HAVE STARTED TO GET WARMER TEMPS BRINGING ON MIDGE HATCHES ALSO. NYMPHING IS THE WAY TO GO THIS TIME OF YEAR. WORM PATTERS, BIG STONEFLIES, VARIOUS COLORS OF MAYFLY PATTERNS, AND VARIOUS COLORS OF PERDIGONS HAVE BEEN PRODUCING FISH. TRY A BEADHEAD PATS RUBBERLEG WITH A PHESANT TAIL AND THAT SHOULD DO THE TRICK. STICK TO FISHING THE EDGES AND ANY SLOWER MOVING RIFFLES, THEY FISH SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR STRUCTURE OR THE EDGES.
BELOW PLATORO: ~480CFS. THIS IS A HIGH FLOW FOR THE RELEASE INTO THE MEADOWS. WE TYPICALLY SHY AWAY AT THOSE KINDS OF FLOWS. BUT STAY TUNED IN WITH THE REPORTS ON FLOWS BECAUSE IF IT GETS AROUND 300CFS THE FISHING SHOULD BE GOOD. WORM PATTERNS AND DRAKE NYMPHS SHOULD GET FISH TO EAT. THIS ALSO MEANS FLOWS THROUGH THE POC`KET WATER WILL BE HIGH, BUT FISHING ALONG THE LOWER RIVER SHOULD STAY DECENT THROUGH RUNOFF.
COME BY THE SHOP AND GET SOME MORE INFORMATION AND BUGS OR CALL AT 719-376-5660 BECAUSE WITH THIS RIVER, THINGS CAN CHANGE ON THE DAILY.
