Fish Report for 10-11-2012

The weeds at Bridgeport is making the fishing more difficult

10-11-2012
The Trout Fitter Staff

Water Conditions: Good the water level down considerably and very warm. Weeds 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 it is very difficult to fish stream channels. Stay outside the weed lines by these cold water sources and you should do well. 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
