Fishing Report October 14, 2022
 
The river is clearing, and Streamers are working good. Worms, sowbugs, tan and gray Ray Charles!! Water flows are at 2,710 cfs. Fishing is fair on nymphs. Water clarity is much improved from a week ago and fish are feeding more consistently. Aquatic grass is still a factor, but the nymph and streamer fishing is starting to turn on. A few fish are being taken on tricos. Sowbugs, scuds, Baetis nymphs, and Zebra midge pupa are working subsurface. Also, trico fishing is good on the Bighorn to Mallards stretch, with some trico fishing on the upper river. Tan caddis are beginning to show up.*

"I knew the first day that he is a hard working and knowledgable Guide that would do everything in his power to make your day a good experience. There are those days when fishing was tough and even when we got skunked I had a great time and learned alot from him."
