REPORTS: The fishing continues to be very steady throughout the day. The fish are definitely on smaller flies these days and will pretty much swim right past your salmonflies to eat green drakes, smaller hoppers and caddis. This will be especially true today in the clouds and possible rain. With the creek down as much as it is, wade fishing has become almost the best option for fishing right now. Drifting, on the other hand, getting to be a more sketchy option by the hour. Smaller yellow stimi chew toys and para madam X patterns with droppers have been very productive up here recently as have smaller Dave's and Letort hoppers. Today's flow on Rock Creek near Clinton is 632 cfs, down about 10 cfs from yesterday.
HATCHES: Caddis, green drakes, salmonflies, golden stones, PMDs, hoppers.
FLIES: More realistically sized mayfly offerings such as parachute Adams, comparaduns or cripples in the 14 to 16 range. Green drake cripples or duns in 10s or 12s. Hopper and ant patterns have begun to work now. Slow moving streamers will also be a good option. Larger stonefly nymphs with bright red San Juan worm droppers.
