Above Spring Creek Launch

September is the most attractive time of the season to fly fish this river. Water is clear and cold with relatively stable flow. Recreational boat traffic is down, walk-in-wade opportunities are almost unlimited, and fall colors are developing. Terrestrial insects are the best reasons for great top water fishing but changing weather is bringing on the fall mayfly ( mainly BWOs and mahogany duns) emergence peak, and as we advance into autumn months streamer fishing will become more effective as brown trout prepare or their spawn. .
