(617
cfs) With the water on its way down, fishing
will be tough for the next week or so, until
fish acclimate to the low flows. Hoppers
have been the name of the game finally. The
Pinks are still going in the heat of the
day and some Caddis in the evening. Also,
keep an eye open for the Flavs and Crane
flies, too.
Flies
you MUST have in your fly box when you
go: #8/10 Grasshoppers, #16/18
Pink Alberts, #16/14/12 Elk Hair Caddis,
#10 Flav, #10 Crane fly

miss lately. Hopper fishing has been epic
this Summer. But, fish are starting to get
pretty keen to floating foam. Taking spring
creek tactics to the Owyhee will help catch
more fish. Leader free presentation and lighter
tippet will help. Look for the Mahoganies
and a small afternoon Caddis hatch. The morning
fishing has actually been quite good with
every fish up looking at Midges or chasing
streamers...hint, hint.

Mahogany Duns, #10 Crane fly, #20/22 Midges,
#16 Caddis

(478
cfs) Both the North Fork and Middle Fork
are fishing well. There are Hoppers everywhere!
You will notice that the fish size on the
Middle Fork is slightly larger, but they
are not monsters anyway. Try fishing the
classic attractor patterns in the morning
and as the heat increases the Hoppers will
become more active and jump in the water.
Look for Caddis in the evening.
Flies
you MUST have in your fly box when you
go: #14/16 Royal Wulff, #14/12
Stimulator, #16/14 Parachute Adams, #8/10
Parachute Hopper, #14/16 Parachute Caddis
