Fly Fishing Only by River Run Outfitters (Dam to Fall Creek)- Fishing continues to be good. Had a couple out yesterday for 1/2 day. She had very little experience fly fishing and she boated at least 20 fish. Her friend caught a beautiful 18 inch Rainbow and boated 20 or more fish. With two generators going, all our fish were caught on the size 16 red midge. Monday had another new fly fisher out. Sister treated him to a birthday trip. With the water off Monday, they were both catching lots of fish on the size 18 dark olive soft hackle. Around 11:00 a.m. they turned on one generator, followed shortly by one more. After that we drifted and fished the red size 16 midge. While the water was rising, fished the red San Juan worm and caught 6-8 in about 15 minutes. Once the second generator increased the water flow, the fish turned off the worm. Weekend fished well on the olive and/or black size 18 zebra midges. If the water is off for a period of time, the terrestrials should still be doing well. Actually have seen some caddis coming off the water every day this past week…probably size 12-14.
Fly Fishing and Spin Fishing By Chartered Waters Guide Service and Fly Shop – September 9th – September 9th – Today’s water was one unit and running all day long…With one unit running we could fish fairly light so we stayed with traditional casting and roll casting…If you’ve never done it, don’t be intimidated by fly fishing. It’s easy and it is the best way to catch a trout. Today the #16 pink Soft Shelled Scuds were good early. We had decent success with ginger and black scuds of the same. Late morning I went with #18 Bit Scuds and trailed either a ginger #20 G-Bug or a #20 olive Bit Scud. We went pretty small today but stayed with 6x fluorocarbon on the tippet. The last 3rd of the day was dominated by a #20 brown G-Bug. That’s a color I rarely use but it’s in the box for good now. It was just smokin em on a day when we saw only a couple other fish caught by other boats all day.
Gary‘s Current Report: September 12– Went out at 0700 back by 0830. Fished spin float system with #12 River Run Peach Jig set at 5′ with no genertors going. Fishied about 1/2 way between turn above Creek Dock and Lookout Hole. Caught about 10, all in the 11-14″ range.
