HATCH CHART
The whole system received a bump of water as we transition well into fall air temps. Water temps have been fantastic due to cool nights and relaxed daytime air temps. We are seeing Olives and caddis in fair numbers. Swinging wets or small streamers is a great way to prospect the oxygenated riffles this time of year.
The weather can come and go on certain days but we make the best of it. One extra warmth layer, a rain jacket, and plenty of optimism. A back up plan for when the weather changes is something you shouldn’t leave home without.
Olives hatch afternoons and evenings on the tailwaters and returning spinners just before dark. We are seeing a few Cahills and Iso coming off in areas as well. More Olives can be seen on cloudy or rainy days. Some fall Caddis around and worth having a few on hand if you head out.
Browns and Brookies will be seeking small tributaries to pair up and spawn any time between now and early winter. Please don’t target these fish once they reach these areas.
2026 has been another absolutely fantastic season shared with so many amazing new and returning Clients.
Many folks are getting well ahead of things and jumping on the books for 2027. If you have specific dates in mind for Spring 2027 please don’t hesitate to reach out to get on the calendar. This last winter I basically booked my Spring trips full by the time we got our first trip on the water.
I typically advise for booked dates to begin mid April but some spring seasons come on earlier. Early April bookings should be flexible in the instance we get a late start to spring and are better suited to those who live closer and can adjust if needed.
