REPORTS: Rock Creek continues to chug along with decent August fishing. The upper river is the best place to be if you want to fish past about 1 as the fishing is slowing dramatically by afternoon. Hopper/dropper rigs, beetles, ants and PMD's should keep you hooked up. If you can't get the fish on top try dropping a #14-#16 prince off the back of something big and fishing the deep riffles. The evening fishing has been less than stellar although there are some sections that are producing decent action on a hit and miss basis. In general, we've been having our best evening fishing on the lower creek from The Dalles downstream.
HATCHES: Caddis, golden stones, PMDs, terrestrials.
FLIES: More realistically sized mayfly offerings such as parachute Adams, comparaduns or cripples in the 14 to 16 range. Hopper and ant patterns are also working well now. Try tossing big ugly junk with lots of rubber legs. Slow moving streamers will also be a good option.
