Fish Report for 10-5-2012

There are good hatches at Bridgeport Reservoir, the problem is finding the fish

10-5-2012
The Trout Fitter Staff

Water Conditions: Good the water level is down considerably and very warm. Weeds are everywhere. The water is beginning to cool some.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: There are decent hatches if you can find the fish. Inlets are clogged with weeds and very difficult to fish the stream channels. Stay outside the weed lines by these cold water sources and you should do well. You are probably better off stripping from the tube than midging right now.

RECOMMENDED FLIES:

Nymphs: Shaft Emerger Small, Red Baron, Black Dubbed Head Optimidge #18, Copper Tiger Midge #18-20, Black/Red Tiger Midge #18-20

Streamers: Perfection Perch, Punk Perch, Hornberg, Olive Matuka, Black Wolly Bugger, Flashabou Bugger, Rickard's Seal Bugger
