Fishing Report

by Cory Bennett

How’s fishing? Wow were has this summer gone? We have had a couple great weeks of fishing. We had a couple of cool days last week but the heat is here again. The fishing has been good. I was advised they stocked a large amount of fish Thursday night- and this morning many anglers reported great fishing. Hillary and my daughter Ellie went out on Monday and has some success. We again were using the white thread jig which landed several nice fish. I also threw a Klink Hammer dry fly which worked pretty well. I must confess that it’s been a while since I threw a dry and my  reflexes were not there to set the hook.  I spoke with several anglers who reported success with stripping cracklebacks with a sink tip.

Glo balls- I haven’t mention these gems in a while but this past week they were definitely a hit. Good ol Jimi Hendrix was a great jig this week along with the tri color original.  Now how deep to run the jigs was the big question - some anglers reported deep and others report 1-2 feet below. 
Salmon eggs were a great choice again for anglers in zone 3 this week. Orange PowerBait with glitter worked well for anglers. Plastic worms and pink or orange Trout magnets were also working great for some anglers. 
The summer is wrapping up before to long so if you haven’t made it to Bennett- get here.  I hope everyone has a great weekend. Good luck, be a safe and we’ll see you in the stream!
