Fishing Report 06/17/2022

How's Fishing? Fishing this week has been good. Some anglers have reported great fishing and some anglers saying they had to work for it. The bugs are starting to hit the stream. Cracklebacks, dry flies and foam bugs were very popular this week. We had several anglers reporting they were having some sub surface and top water action.  Black and Yellow  marabou and the Ginger Snap marabou were also pretty popular this week. Worms were also hitting it pretty hard too. 

The weather this week has been great.  I would say summer is officially here as the HEAT is on! The stream is also really starting to shape up and is getting more clear everyday. We have another great fishing forecast ahead of us. It's gonna be warm but the fish don't mind the heat. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend and a Happy Father's Day.
