High and Clear

October 10, 2006October 10, 2006

The water is high and clear. The gauge at Falls this morning was 2.8-around 330 Cfs. The river will be a little chalky below the feeder creeks at Masemore and just below Bunkerhill. So fish just above these if you like clear water. In short–Get up here and bring a few San Juan worms if you’ll be fishing through the showers this afternoon.

Water,Water Everywhere…

October 23, 2006October 10, 2006

The sun is shining and Yes, the water is still off color, but we’re finding fish that are taking Sulphurs from the surface. Most of these are #14-16. If the fish are rising, but you can’t seem to connect, try a sparkle dun. A sparkle dun is a great emerger pattern that is easy to see and works like the devil. One should find some better looking water, Olives sized #18-22 and #18-20 Caddis above Falls Rd. Fishing big Streamers in the pocket water has it’s own rewards.The river should continue to drop and clear up by the weekend. Note: A sparkle-dun is a comparadun …

Sulphurs sized #12-14 are coming off around 3:00 PM with #18-20 Caddis mixed in. Try a #16 Pheasant tail in between hatches and don’t let the weatherman tell you how to spend your weekend. Following are some recent quotes from anglers this week. “Some of the nicest water I’ve seen in the East…Lots of voracious feeding and saw a couple of bruisers…It was one of the most memorable days for me on the Gun…” “Getting into some nice wild …

October 23, 2006October 5, 2006

The fish are looking up. Water temps are 55 F, flow is 180 Cfs and the weather is not going to get any better. Small olives are still a good bet in the morning. Tired of fishing tricos? Come up and fish hoppers from your western box and use leaders in the 9 to 12 ft range in 6x. We had lots of smiling faces as the electroshocking survey concluded this past week. We will be posting results soon. A few sightings of fish have been recently reported in the 22-27 inch range. That’s big folks! Following is a stream report from Jed: Message: Some …
