September Weather
September 6, 2010
September weather has changed the fishing early. Cold water and small flies are starting early this season. Last night Sept. 5th it was snowing on the North Tongue. Campers were greeted with 15 degrees temperatures over night. The high today on the mountain is about 45 degrees. Never fear though, the fishing is still good. I took my mother and father up for a half day of fun on the North Tongue and small blue duns answered the our favorite question. Mom landed about 7 fish 13 – 15 inches. Dad landed about 15 fish 13-16 inches. I pulled the orange legs of a size 12 beetle and dad landed a couple of fish 15-16 inches. It was great fun fishing with Mom and Dad. I love helping them learn fly fishing and it is fun to see them learning and catching more larger fish. Even with the weather turning cold, the small dry flies were working. Next week is supposed to warm up again, so I expect the gray and green drakes to continue to hatch for a few more weeks. There are some golden stones, fall beatis (BWO, PMD), caddis and midges also hatching. Some larger stimulator patterns and beetle or ant patterns are also working. There are a few areas where hoppers are working according to some customers, but I have not found them yet.
Thanks for checking in with us.
