The Fish Report - July 24, 2008





Water Conditions: Between Silver and Grant Lake, the flow has gone back up in last 3 days to 57 cfs WATER TEMPS HAVE GONE BACK DOWN INTO THE LOW 60'S BETWEEN SILVER AND GRANT SO FISH AWAY!BELOW GRANT THE WATER TEMPS ARE STILL IN THE LOW 70'S AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO GIVE THIS FISHERY A REST EXCEPT MAYBE VERY EARLY IN THE DAY.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
Fishing is good. You will have to contend with other anglers between the lakes but yo u can find solitude below Grant. Up high you can find some nice stocked rainbows especially in the deeper holes, as well as smaller wild fish. Down low will be almost exclusively small wild fish eager to take a dry if you place it in the right spot once things have warmed up. The stockers will eat most attracter patterns but the wild fish will be more selective. Hatches: small Golden Stones, Baetis Mayflys, Caddis and Midges

Recommended Flies:
Lots of attractor style patterns work well here with a dropper fly like a PT, Hare's Ear, Micro Mayfly etc.
-Dries- #14-18 Elk Hair Caddis, #14 Yellow Stimulator, #14 Yellow Humpy, #14 Royal Wulff, PMD patterns from #14-16
-Nymphs- #14-18 PT's, #14-18 Hare's Ears, #16-18 Olive Micro Mayfly, #16 Mercer's Stone, #16 olive CDC caddis emergers, #18 Brook's Hot Creek Caddis emergers, #20 black, grey and olive (3 different colors) WD-40's, #20 Zebra Midges ,Prince nymph,San Juan Worm,and Copper Johns all in #12-14
