Small Streams, August 16th, 2022

Some of the best small stream action is during afternoons on Big Elk Creek when western green drakes emerge. You will see other fly fishers there, but no plastic canoes! Palisades Creek also offers good fly fishing. Nowhere as many PM western green drakes are present, but terrestrial insects and caddis flies abound. A renegade pattern in sizes 12-14 is very reliable for action here.
