First of August Fishing Report

It's a transitional time on the river. We walk to the river unsure of what fly we will use, but sure that it won't be the same one we ended the previous day with.


The PMDs are slowly fading away, the yellow Sallies aren't so prolific anymore, the caddis are sometimes flittering in the evening breeze, the tiny green midges have started, but are yet to show up in any quantity. We've seen one or two calibaetis from the lake upstream, but only a couple. There are very few spruce moths, but maybe it's still too early for them. There are a few BWOs, but nothing to change flies for.

Nothing is consistent or with any regularity. But it's challenging and it's what we expect. And we love it!
