Needless to say the fishing is very good right now, hence the delay in our updates.  We encountered some nasty weather late last week into early this week.  This did make the river off color for a bit but has since cleaned up and is fishable all the way to town.  We have stayed busy all week with lots of happy clients that have taken advantage of the great fishing that we are experiencing.  There have been great midge and baetis hatches occurring just about every day.  Little bugs and short rigs have been the recipe for success.  Top bugs have been chocolate emergers, tailwater tiny’s, medallion midge, mayhem midge, hickey’s auto emerger and barrs emergers in BWO.

For those of you coming up for the holiday weekend we still some openings available throughout the weekend.  Judging by the forecast we should be in for some great fishing!

For all those streamer junkies. The rising water temps and more active and spunky fish makes for an exciting day on the water. Still not stripping as fast as the later months but the fish are grabbing the fly with authority. So take advantage of the clean and relatively moss free fishing conditions. Get a trip booked soon!

Monday after the Two Fly I took Quinn and John out on the upper section of the river.  We had a great day on small bugs with some real good fish brought to the boat.  Several doubles were hooked……not all landed but a few were!  Mides were out in full force and the fish had the feed bags on.  It was a great day.  John landed this really nice fish on the last pass right at the Lusby boat ramp.

We just finished up the ninth annual Two-Fly Tournament last week.  Judging by everyone’s comments this was the best weather that anyone had experienced.  With that being said the fishing was not half bad as it appeared that many fish were brought to the net as well.  One of the beneficiaries this year was CASA.  CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Natrona County is a caring non-profit organization that speaks for the best interests of abused and neglected children within the juvenile court system. CASA recruits, trains and supports volunteers drawn from a diverse population to provide this service.  The Mercer House was another one of the beneficiaries as well.  Mercer Family Resource Center serves Natrona County providing education, counseling, and referral services that build stronger and healthier youth and families in our community. We do not have total of donations yet, but will keep you posted as we receive more information.  A big thanks to all the volunteers and donors who helped make this such a successful event.   

Well it was another busy weekend with boats spread out all over the place from Grey Reef down.  Fishing is still silly as ever with great hatches of BWO’s just about every day.  Red Rock Worms, Pine Squirrel Leeches (Brown, Natural) Eggs, Barrs Emergers,  Downey Nymphs.  Today is a totally different story with winds gusting over 40 mph with cooler temps in the forecast for the next couple of days.Congrats to Deb Patterson with a slab of Brown that she caught Sunday.  Deb always seems to catch the big fish!
