Fish a march brown, skwala or golden stonefly, green caddis pupa, or small flashy PT under an indicator. Good march brown hatch around 11am can provide fair to good dry fly fishing with emerger and adult patterns. Also, try fishing a stimulator with a PT dropper in the tailouts. Swinging a soft hackled caddis pupa is productive late afternoon and evening. Access at Hallwood, Sycamore Ranch, Hammond Grove, or the Hwy 20 bridge.
Fishing pressure is heavy on the weekends.
Good hatches of march brown mayflies, skwala stoneflies, gray drakes, and caddis provide excellent catching opportunities with nymphs and dry flies. This year's low water has created ideal wading conditions and a chance to fish many stretches of the river that are inaccessible at higher flows. Floating the river in a pontoon boat is the perfect way to access the lower, uncrowded stretch of river, fish the best runs and riffles on either side of the river, and avoid a long tortuous walk in and back out. Previous rowing experience is helpful, but not necessary. Call or email for more information or to book your trip.
