Look for better fishing after the wind dies. A hatching insect doesn’t have a chance to even mate in the winds we have had the last couple of days. Even the hoppers will hold on tight, but the wind is dying, so go back to placing terrestrials tight to banks and underneath overhead cover.

Hoppers and other terrestrial patterns tight against banks or evening rises to caddis swarms are the best way to find action up and down the river these days. We have some reports of good evening streamer fishing on the Warm River to Ashton section.

Terrestrial patterns are the way to go anywhere on the river. Even the Last Chance-Harriman reach is not crowded, but if you want to get away from crowds try Bear Gulch or Hatchery Ford. You will also find evening caddis swarms on all these locations. Don’t overlook pitching streamer into deeper water as the sun sets

Terrestrial patterns close to the banks is the best way to fishing success throughout the river these mid summer days. Early in the days and evenings are best times. Also look for some action from evening caddis swarms.

It’s the “Dog Days” of August, so things are slowing down throughout the river. A few small PMDs and some speckled duns are on the water as well as caddis. Terrestrial patterns bring the best chance for action with mornings and evening being the best times on the river.

We are in the dog days, and action is slowing a bit. But terrestrials are saving the day. Fish ’em tight to the banks and as drift-free as possible. This applies up and down the river. We all think “hoppers” this time of year, but think also ants, beetles, crickets, etc.

Stick to early AMs for action from rusty spinner falls and nymphs. do those “honey-dos” during mid day. Come back in the evenings to enjoy action from caddis and nymphs again. An exception would be to present hopper tight towards the banks and cover during daytime.

Action is slowing down just about everywhere along the river as we enter the summer dog days. But don’t let this stop you from trying a hopper or other terrestrial pattern. The evening caddis emergence makes for evening action, and rusty spinners provide the same early in the day Also look for speckled duns to become important on the Last Chance-Harriman stretch.
