Current Report
The nymph fishing has been good, and the streamer fishing is solid as well. Try a sinking line in the deeper water if you want to catch some big rainbows and the occasional brown. The “Goldie” streamer (articulated white & gold) worked well last week. As for nymphs, scuds and sowbugs have been the primary producers. S.J. Worms are still working as well. Brown trout are nearing done spawning.
