Water temperature in the Trophy Waters is getting warmer and the bugs are becoming abundant.  Last time out a few days ago there were literally clouds of dark Hendricksons, with a decent spinnerfall toward dusk.  Also plenty of lighter caddis have been seen, and the beginnings of sulphurs.  Our guide and two clients caught over fifty fish between Mio and Comins yesterday.  It’s a bug smorgasboard!

The river below Mio is closer to normal conditions but the water levels are still a little high, so be careful in strong current areas.  I tried fishing not far from the scenic overlook the other night and almost got swept away!  Hennies, olives, black caddis, and Griffith’s gnats will be good choices in the afternoons if you see the fish looking up.  Otherwise try olive or black woolly buggers or small trout patterns in the deeper pools.  Nymph suggestions:  pheasant tail or hennie nymph.  The weather’s looking better…..
