Fishing Report 10/4/2021

This past week the trout fishing has been great. Throughout the days we have been switching mainly between streamer fishing and nymphing. We also got a few fish on dry flies in the afternoon which was a welcome surprise. The pike fishing is starting to pick up as well, there were quite a few toothy critters landed this week.

As many of you know we have gotten struck by another round of rainstorms unfortunately that has dumped over 2″ of rain. So it is looking as though the river will be unfishable for a little bit until the water levels come down. But keep in touch for updates and tight lines everyone!
