Well, after a great stocking on March 2nd in the DH section followed by several days of steady rain I am happy to report THE FISH ARE HERE, HAPPY, AND HUNGRY! They are widely distributed throughout the entire DH section of the river. We were fortunate to receive many extremely large fish in this stocking...some pushing 30”. The water has now cleared and is reading 47 degrees down here, so the fish will be getting active. Fishing was exceptional but predictable before the stocking...and it should be awesome now. Fish are feeding well up in the water column and on top during the now daily stone hatch. It’s not heavy yet, but a few warm days and it will be “ON” big time! Flies working well include Yellow Hammer, Crystal Egg, Blue-wing Olive, Early Stones, Woolies, and Soft Hackles (sizes 14-18 seem best). One other note, be sure to step up leaders and tippets! These fish have some back and the waters running!
