Low Water???? I just got down to the dock this morning and noticed that the corp only has one unit of water flowing. This is great news! I’m not sure what there pattern is going to be, but I will post as soon as I find out. Get ready for some great fishing. All this high water has made the fish very fat and very aggressive!
It is finally time to dust off the fly rods. One unit of water is very fishable, but it is still a little different than normal low water fishing. Drifting from a boat try using a 10 foot leader with larger nymph (size 14). Nymphs to try include: sow bugs, copper johns, prince nymphs, and san juan worms. Make sure you weight your fly with a bb size split shot.
Bait fishing has been awesome, and can only get better with the lower water. If the water is way up try a night crawler. Powerbait and waxworms have been doing great. White power eggs have been the best, but also bring some yellow eggs. It water has been stained so the brighter color has sometimes been working better.
See you on the river,
Chris
