Fishing Report
Well, if you can believe the weather has gotten even nicer! This last week, hitting 50 degrees multiple times with not a cloud in the sky!
It has been big fish galore out there! The flies and that warm sun hitting the water with low fishing pressure make for the perfect combination for our native westslope cutthroat.
The fish have been very active. The best times are 10:30 am-3 pm. The warmest part of the day!
Find that deep holding water for most of your action. That being said, though, with these warm temps, we are definitely finding fish in quicker water as well. Just go fishing and get rewarded!
