Fishing Has Been Good to Very Good!
Sorry for the long lag since the last fishing report. Had major problem with computer….hard drive. Had to replace it. New hard drive. Working at retrieving lost information, but back in business!
A word for weather right now is…..HOT! 100 degree days make for a shade seeking outing when you are on the water. Expecting 100+ again today, then upper 90s for a few days and possibly 100 again by next Monday. No significant signs of rain in the forecast.
For several days now we have had low generation (one unit up and down) during the morning hours. Around noon or 1:00 pm., they turn on either two or three units. Run those for several hours then shut it back to one unit for the rest of the night into the next day. Fortunately, this has allowed wade fishing in some of the upper areas.
Dana on the water a week ago last Saturday (6/25) for a half day with Roy and his girlfriend Amy. This was Amy’s first time fly fishing and she likes it. They fished above the boats ramp area as the water was pretty low and caught fish on the black copperhead midge.
Monday before this past Monday, Carolyn had Debbie and Susan on the water for a full day. Fun day! Caught fish on most everything, ruby 2, black copperhead midge, holographic green crackleback, big ruby, lightning bug.
Randy and Anna fished a half day with Carolyn a week ago Tuesday. Good day on the rusty midge under the big ruby.
Gina and Carolyn on the water last Wednesday with Jan, Pete, Anne and Leon. Gina started out with the ladies and Carolyn had the gentlemen. Low, slow water so we fished the area above and below the boat ramp. Anne, Jan and Pete have fly fished before but this was Leon’s first time. Anne and Leon started out with Gina and, of course, he was the first one to get a fished to the boat….not only one but a few more. He was ‘top dog’ for the day. Catching on a black copperhead midge under the big ruby. We had to work for fish that day, but everyone caught fish and had a good time! Fun day!
Marty and Devera from Texas fished with Dana last Saturday. One of those good days on the ruby 2 or black copperhead midges.

Dana had Chuck from Massachusetts on the water Tuesday.
Chuck – 7/5/22
Good day for him on the copperhead black midge under the big ruby.
Wednesday, Gary on the water wading with Ella. No consistent pattern, but caught on the JQ streamer, red San Juan worm, ruby 2 and holographic green cracklback.
Meagan’s first on fly rod – 7/6/22
Carolyn had William and Meagan out for half a day. This was Meagan’s first time fly fishing so we worked on basics, caught a few fish, and then did

some casting practice. Most of the fish were caught on the ruby 2 under the big ruby. Did catch a few stripping the holographic green crackleback. Neat and fun couple!
