June 18th-23rd, 2015

So, this is gunna be kind of ridiculous…Hienie and the boys have done it again! And again…and again….and again. These boys have literally slept, ate and drank browns and rainbows the entire time they have been here! The salmon flies and golden stones have been flying around all week along with bomber IMG_2455SM IMG_2450SMIMG_2201SM IMG_2199SM IMG_2196SM IMG_2192SMcaddis and sallies to play cleanup. The dries have been doing really good in that aspect but if you want to really start crankin’em in the boat, it’s a dirty nympher’s game. Caddis patterns in sizes 14 and 16 have been working well. Stonefly patterns have been the slayer on the Maddy lately with a beadhead behind. Pat’s Rubber Legs of course leads all in sizes 6, 8 and 10. Golden stone patterns sizes 6, 8 and 10 are working well. Prince nymph in sizes 10, 11, and 12 have been working really well for the caddis and mayflies. Some folks around here have been coming in and claiming to have done very well on yellow sally nymphs also.                                                                                                                                       IMG_2459SM IMG_2456SM IMG_2468SM IMG_2462SM IMG_2460SM IMG_0964SM IMG_0958SM IMG_1552SM

The bite has been really good in the morning and a little slower throughout the middle of the day. The evenings have been absolutely killer for some of us here at the shop! The big bugs are out in full force behind the shop and the fish are eating. The bugs (salmons, goldens, yellow sallies, caddis greendrakes, bomber caddis, PMDs) are everywhere and the fish are very happy!IMG_1561SM IMG_1557SM IMG_1333SM IMG_2473SM IMG_2470SM IMG_1570SM

Stay tuned for some more big bug action as we will try to keep you updated from a couple days to a couple days! Happy Fishing!!!
