Current Report / Information
HATCH CHART
Water temps are riding around the high 30’s overnight and hitting the mid 40’s on the Freestones and similar on the lower Main Stem during daytime “highs”. Most overnights below freezing and most daytime highs in the 30’s to mid 40’s. These are perfect days to drink coffee and tie a few flies for 2026.
Writing this update 11/14/25 in the PM. Brown Trout and Brook Trout use late Fall and Winter to Spawn. Some fish may have used the Main rivers and other may have waited for rain and moved up into tributaries to build Redds. These fish and the Redd’s should be avoided at all costs. If you get out this time of year be sure to avoid more shallow gravel areas and make yourself familiar with what a Trout Redd looks like so you can avoid them.
2025 was an absolutely fantastic season shared with so many amazing new and returning Clients.
Folks are getting well ahead of things and jumping on the books for Spring 2026. If you have specific dates in mind for Spring 2026 please don’t hesitate to reach out to get on the calendar. The Spring weekend dates tend to get booked by January and the weekdays fill in leaving fewer options as we get into April and the beginning of the season.
I typically advise for dates to begin mid April but some spring seasons come on earlier. Early April bookings should be semi flexible in the instance we get a late start to spring.
