The Hardware Bridge project is completed and we now have two sections of river once again open for our use. They did a great job and it was well worth the wait. It is also a wading paradise; a lot of Islands offering tons of structure. Just be aware of the deep holes.
I still have a few days available in August and September. Give me a call and let’s get on the river to experience the action.
August and September are great months for fishing. For “Bug” fishing go with a size 2 or 4 popper. With the low clear water conditions go with a 12-14 foot leader with an 8-12 lb. fluorocarbon tippet. Baitfish and Cray fish patterns are the flies to go with when not fishing top water. A 9 foot leader is a wise choice with the river conditions. Again an 8-10 lb. fluorocarbon tippet is recommended.
Conventional anglers are having success on top with Tiny-Torps; Skitter Pops and Pop-R’s. For subsurface action Grubs; Stick baits and the ever popular Fluke are boating fish.
