Report: Damsels and Dragons are really hatching now in full force. Olive seems to be the best color for the Damsels. Make sure you have a full midge box and red can be a fantastic color some days. Dry Dropper can be a deadly setup, a red or black Zebra Midge underneath a Chubby Chernobyl or a Fat Head Moth is a good setup. Caddis have appeared as well and a great tactic is to swing a soft hackle or a small Bird's Nest. Zug Bugs can have fish grabbing as well. Look upstream around the bend for Callibaetis coming off, the spinners in the morning will have fish taking them just off of the current seams. Norman's Loopwing and the CDC Spinner are two excellent patterns on spring creeks for Callibaetis. Tricos are on the horizon, so the TB Drowned Trico should be in your box right next to all of your Zebra Midges. Our guides have this place wired if you are looking for some tactical advice on fishing a great spring creek fishery with an expert!
