Trout Trout fishing is good right now and you will have most of the water to yourself other than the steelheaders. Fish the deeper bank water and eddies with dry flies, and nymph the shallow riffles and runs. Caddis are still fairly thick, and we are seeing a lot of small Baetis mayflies. While steelhead fishing yesterday, we watched as virtually every trout in the river fed on the surface, it was a sight to see. If you are going to nymph, atleast give yourself a shot at a steelhead with a larger nymph on 2x tippet with a 5x trout dropper. Steelhead Fish are being taken daily up to Warm Springs. Our clients have been doing anywhere from poor to excellent this last week. There are plenty of fish to have a chance. Swinging flies is the best way to cover the water. It can be smart to fish a floating line in the morning with unweighted or slightly weighted flies, while switching to heavier flies or even a sink tip and a leech during midday if it is sunny. We have landed fish on both floaters and tips, so be prepared with both. The most important thing is water selection and confidence!
Beaded Nymphs to have: angel case pmd and bwo, bird of prey (october caddis pupa), super flash pheasant, springcreek pmd, yellow sally, rubber-leg green copper john, green rock worm, red serendipity. Must-have Emergers: sparkle pupa (tan and green), soft-hackle (yellow, green, red), iris caddis, cdc pmd. A few Dries: cdc parachute pmd and bwo, elk hair (brown, orange, olive), g-gnat, rusty spinner. Make sure to come in and say hi, we are only 1 mile South of the Warm Springs boat ramp.
Hot Tip October caddis pupa are starting to get more active...trout and steelhead love these guys.
The Riffle Fly Shop is open every morning at 7:00 AM for you early birds, so come in and make sure we aren't napping. Check out the [url "http://www.theriffleflyshop.com/custom.php?page=156"]Trouthunter Cabin[/url] for overnight stay in the canyon near Warm Springs.
