REPORTS: Yesterday fished very well on top until the wind kicked up. The fish were all over the big uglies and the fish there were up and eating systematically would readily eat big sprout emergers and then the smaller Lawson cripples as well. Once things got to blowing, and before the crazy wind, a red San Juan worm deep under whatever was picking up some nice fish. We also had some decent bugger fishing from about 9:30 until about noon when it shut off hard subsurface. Today should be very similar with little chance for the intense afternoon winds we saw yesterday. The cooler water temps and above average flows on this river have created some great fishing on the lately neglected upper river above Milltown. Lots of bug activity up there lately with good numbers of baetis, hecubas and pmds. They'll eat your hoppers up here too.
HATCHES: Caddis,hecubas, tricos, giant golden stones, terrestrials.
FLIES: Royal stimis, Rogue goldens, parachute madam x, Ausable Wulffs, comparadun and thorax PMDs, parachute Adams in 12s and 14s. Goddard caddis (especially in the late evening), flashback p-tails.
