Silver Creek: Silver Creek has been fishing very well in the late mornings. The weather has turned sunny and warm after three weeks of cool cloudy and rainy weather. The water levels are higher than usual due to all the rain and less extraction of groundwater from irrigation wells. The hills are a brilliant green and the wildflowers are blooming. The best fishing occurs at 9:00am with Baetis and PMD spinner falls lasting until 11:00AM. We are seeing many large browns and rainbows surface feeding during this period. There are a few Callibaetis hatching late morning in select areas. Evening hatches have been good right on dark if you can stand the Mosquito populations.
Big Wood River: The Big Wood River is just coming into shape and is flowing at 1300 cfs. The water clarity is now good and the summers first hatches are about to begin. Look for the Western Green Drakes and the smaller Brown Quills to hatch late morning and into mid day. Wading is still tricky at this flow level, so be careful and tighten up your wading belt!
Big Lost River: The Big Lost River below Mackay Reservoir has been running at 1100 cfs. Demands for irrigation have started and we expect the river to stay at this level for most of July. The PMD’s and Little Yellow Stonefly hatches are just beginning for the summer and should last for approximately three weeks. We are also seeing the large Golden Stonefly. Fishing will be excellent during these hatch periods.
