Fish Report for 2-23-2022

The entire river remains in good shape

The Fly Shop

The entire river remains in good shape. Some large fish are in on the lower sections, with clear water you can spot them pretty easily. Midges in the morning and Blue Wing Olives from lunch on. This slight cold snap will slow things down some, but the stones will begin moving around and emerging soon. Good flies are the #18 Zebra Midge, Sweet Pea in #16, and the #18 Olive Hotspot. Also Rubberlegs. Some of these fish are pretty aggressive, so swung and stripped Sculpin patterns are definitely a good idea now.
