How's Fishing?
So
yes it has been a while, but I am back with another fishing report. The
weather has not been very exciting the last couple of weeks but the water
levels are looking much better, Fishing has been good even with some of
the high water. Several anglers have been catching but the trick has been
getting the fly or jig as deep as you can go. The water is murky but it's
not chocolate milk like it has been. The summer is officially here and
families are starting to pile into Bennett for vacation. The good news is
that the forecast looks to be dry for the next several days-hot-but dry.
So what's working?
Marabou Jigs, In (black and yellow), (green and black), (red and black)
and (green and yellow). A couple of anglers were doing well with the John
Deere Mini jig running it deep. A few other jigs that got mentioned this
week several times was the peach fur bug. Olive and also brown roaches
have been very useful. Stripping flies has been pretty good with a
crackleback or wooly. I even did well with a size 12 Griffiths Gnat. Dry
flies has been hit or miss but the anglers that have been drying say that
elk hair caddis and smaller Light Cahill have been working for them. As
far as Rooster Tails- Every customer that comes in says a different color
that is working but greens, oranges and pink have been the most popular up
here. Also brown has been working well too. In zone three, worms, Salmon
Peach PowerBait, Orange PowerBait and Sherbet PowerBait have been working
awesome.
I hope everything is getting a great start to their
summer and hope to see all of you soon. Good luck, be safe and as always,
I'll see you on the stream.
