Fishing Report
Fishing has been very good the last couple of days. We are seeing and hooking into really nice size fish on our guide trips.
Technique has really played a very important role in hooking these larger fish. It isn’t always what your using, but how you are using it. Presentation accounts for a great deal of the success. For example using the right size and type of tippet is almost as important as the fly you tie on the end of it. Alot of people don’t want to spend the extra money for flurocarbon tippet, but I guarantee that you will have more hits. Another tip is to not wade out through the deeper holes, but stand on the gravel bars. I have seen more people lately just wade right through the areas where the fish are.
Water generation has been not real consistant, They had 1 generator on this morning, but shut it down around 8:30 am or so. The only day they have run of any amount of time was last Saturday, and they had turned on 2 generators in the morning.
