It is time to fish......
Edit.....11/15/18
The fish are very fast at picking up, and putting down!! Set on everything that MIGHT even be a fish.....twitchy is the way...
Getting a bit quieter on the water......we are down to two bugs, Baetis and Midges. Either dries or nymphing.
Seeing swirls just below the surface much more than a couple weeks ago.
Find one and fish to him if possible......as opposed to prospecting. First drift is key......
Hoppers are done....
October Caddis are about done.....saw one yesterday......
Baetis sz 20 dries...Burks Silhouette Dun. JUJUs and emergers are best bets.
They come off about 11:00 am as a Dun, and return to the water about 2:30 in split wing mode.
Smidges abound of course...early they pop, later they bounce on the water.
You can cross in many places.....maybe wade the middle and fish the edges....
The evenings are getting chilly, and mornings are brisk....but almost..T -shirt weather mid-day....sure beats hot weather/water.
Soft hackles might be the best way right now. Just swing it! Perhaps in a riffle.....
I can feel Winter is close by....no snow even on the crest, but starting to see a little ice near the edges of the water, in the shade.
The woods are very quiet......Really beautiful right now....
Flows bumped up in town to 170cfs....and has dropped to 280cfs in the canyon. Good time to team fish....have a friend spot for ya. There are nice fish in shallow water that will spook from 30 yards. Bring game.
Treat'em nice.
