Upper Canyon- The wind was pretty bad today, but the fish were still coming to the surface. The cut banks with good structure under the water, inside seams towards the head of the riffles, and behind the bigger rocks in the middle of the runs were producing for us. We mainly fished dries and dry dropper rigs. The stone and royal wulff were working the best. for nymphs we ran a dropper between 10″ to 18″ below the dry. Flies: #10-8 Dark Stone Dry, #10-14 Royal Wulff, #20-18 BWO nymph, #16-18 Lightning Bug, #12-10 October Caddis nymph
Fishing has been tough. The upper river above the Teanaway is still in shape, but the water temps are in the mid to low 40’s. We hooked 6 landed 4, all big though, between 16″ and 20″. We saw one fish rise and tossed the skwalla mayfly dropper, but no takers. The ticket was #8-12 brown pat’s stones, the pink worm, and the zebra midge.
