The bright sunny days of the neighborhood’s Indian Summer are still having an impact on the fishing up and down the Fork. Looking at the weather forecast for the week shows lots of sun and warm temps are due again this week.
Not a lot has changed since our last report; the Box remains very wadable at lower flows and is fishing best early and late with beadhead nymphs (now many times have you heard that this year), streamers and stonefly nymphs. There are fish throughout the river but we’ve heard the best fish stories from folks working the banks carefully.
Harriman / Last Chance has been a bit of a frustration for several friends down lately – they saw Trico, Olives, Mahoganies and even a few PMDs, but few fish. Patient, stealth, long leaders and some luck are still the order of the day. Beetles on the right day (warm with some breeze) have also helped ease some angler angst.
Down lower it’s been warm enough still to keep terrestrials in play and hatches skimpy; won’t be long before streamers will make more sense down here.
