This has been a really good week down on the water. If you like catching lots of fish and even some 20″+ rainbows, you need to be fishing now. I saw several really nice rainbows landed and released this week. There’s been a larger than normal midge hatch going on in the afternoons. Cracklebacks and south platte brassies were about all that was needed during this time. I think other patterns would work, but it wasn’t necessary to change.

The water has been off the last 2 days. Prior to that is was running in the morning, but off in the afternoon.
