FISHING: Excellent
Location: I fished upstream and downstream of the Golf Course.
Time Fished: 9am to dusk
Summary: I fished the better part of the day. Generally the morning was slow. I picked up one fish before noon, and things didn't really start to pick up until 1pm or so. I've found that the best "bite" so to speak, has been from mid-afternoon until 6pm or so.
I continued to fish a double nymph rig and today no one particular pattern seemed to do the trick. I would fish through a run and if I didn't hit a fish, I'd try something different and that would often do the trick. I would continue to fish any larger stonefly nymph (size 8 or 10) with a variety of smaller flies as the dropper.
I hit a couple cutthroat today as well, which represent the first cutts for me in the Cedar. The evening did not produce a very good hatch today and I didn't see many fish rising, however, nymphing continued to work into the evening on this day.
The Cedar closes at the end of the day on August 31st. If you are going to fish it, now is the time.
Patterns Fished: Large stonefly nymphs in golden and hare's ear, battle creek woolly bugger, olive hare's ear and a rock roller
I wouldn't go to the Cedar right now without:
Double bead stonefly nymph in golden and hare's ear
Golden Stone Red Squirrel Nymph 8
Morrish's Hot Wire Caddis Amber 14
Rock Roller - 8
Glo Bugs
Battle Creek Woolly Bugger
Olive BH Hare's Ear
