Update September 2011
September 15, 2011
Hello all,
We have been enjoying good fishing the past few weeks. The full moon phase has been a slight issue for some of the trips, but in general most people have had good days depending on location. The mountain is fishing great. The mountain waters are cold in the 40′s in the morning and heating up through the afternoon. Some waters are getting back to the low 50′s by afternoon. The hatches are smaller now that the water is chilled off. Small beatis and caddis are the general answer on the North Tongue. The beatles, ants and hoppers are working on hotter days.
The canyon waters are nymphing good and streamers are catching some bigger fish. The canyon waters are colder and stay colder due to the lack of sun light reaching the water. The fish are eating, but numbers are slowing. Most are still catching 10 to 20 fish per outing. The Browns are staging and getting ready for spawning in most areas of the mountains. Depending on the water temperature this fall, the lower waters will see the Browns spawn in early October.
As always the lakes and reservoirs are starting to come back and will get better through september and into October. The still waters will fish better and better until they freeze over for the winter. Thanks for stopping by.
I will ad more later.
Roger
