Weather looks great the rest of this week.  A warm up Friday, and slight chances of rain Saturday,  Sunday and Monday.  Temperatures in the low 80s early in the week and them upper 70s Wednesday.

No change in the generation schedule.  Off during the morning hours and then two generators coming on at 1:00 or later.  Off almost all day during the weekend.

Wish I could say that the oxygen level has improved, but it hasn’t.  Need for the lake to turn which will probably be a while.

Carolyn on the water last Thursday with Bobby and his father, Bob.  Fun day for these guys catching on the Ruby 2 midge and an oregon cheese egg pattern.

Ray – 9/14/24

Saturday, Dana took Brian and Ray from Oklahoma out for the morning.  Good day for these guys stripping an olive wooly bugger.

Dana took Ron and his grandson Kellen out Sunday.  They caught fish on the olive wooly bugger and the black copperhead midge.  Tiffany her husband Alex fished with Carolyn.  Tiffany is due any day now and can hardly wait to bring Jack to fish with us.  Good day on the Ruby 2 midge and oregon cheese egg pattern.

Jim had Tom from Kansas on the water Monday.  JQ streamer was their ticket.  Melanie and Priscilla fished with Dana.

Melanie – 9/16/24

Doc and 20″ Rainbow – 9/17/24

Tuesday, Carolyn took Doc and his friend Brian from Oklahoma out for half a day.  Doc is 91 years old and has been fishing with River Run for 26 years.  Every year he said this will probably be his last trip.  We are glad to say he keeps making it every year and we hope he can continue to come and fish with us!  His catch of the day was a beautiful 20 inch male rainbow.  Best fly for both of them was the Ruby 2 midge.

Brian – 9/17/24

The weather has been absolutely wonderful the past several days.  Mornings in the 40-50s, and the days in the upper 70s or low 80s.  Clear skies and sunshine!  It will warm up a bit over the next several days.  Looks like days will be in the mid to upper 80s.  Slight chances for rain Thursday and a little better chances on Friday.

Generation schedule continues to be off during the morning hours and coming on around noon or after.  Off almost all day this past Saturday (on for one hour late in the afternoon) and all day Sunday.

Dana on the water a week ago this past Thursday with Spencer from Texas.  Good day for them on an olive wooly bugger.  Water came on that day early, so they moved upstream to drift but the flow killed the action.

Carolyn had Don and John on the water last Wednesday.  It was one of those early on water days again.  They had a good day on the ruby 2 midge and after the water came on it was an olive bug-eyed bugger with a holographic green crackleback or a cerise San Juan worm under the big ruby.

Friday, Don and John when out with Dana.  Another good day for these guys on the Ruby 2 midge.

Evan – 9/7/24

Carolyn had Evan out Saturday.  Fun day on the P&P midge and stripping the bug-eyed bugger.

John and Brian celebrated Brian’s birthday on the water with Dana Sunday.  Great day for them stripping a holographic green crackleback and olive wooly bugger.  Dan from Kansas was fishing with Carolyn.  He’s heading to Wyoming soon and wanted to get a refresher on how and what to do.  Worked a lot on nymph style fishing and caught fish mainly on the P&P midge.

Past couple of days have been Hot!!  Looks like it will stay in the upper 90s for a couple more days.  By Friday, rain chances move in for the weekend and temperatures will move down into the 80s.  Low 80s Saturday through Monday.  Clearing up by Monday.

No change in generation.  Off during the morning hours and on as early at 11:00 a.m. or as late as 2:00 p.m.  Oxygen level during the morning hours continues to be low.

Dana on the water Monday with Roger from Wisconsin.  Pretty good day for them on an olive wooly bugger and throwing at dry ant pattern.

Tuesday, Jim took Adam and his son, Skylar out for half a day.  Pretty good day for them too stripping a sculpin pattern.

Weather  cooling down a little this week.  Looks like low to mid 80s until Friday when it will move back into the low 90s through the weekend.  Had some rain this morning but it looks dry throughout the rest of the week.

They continue with the generation pattern of off most of the day over the weekend and off during the morning hours on week days, coming on anywhere from noon to 2:00 p.m.

Jim on the water last Wednesday with one of his regular, regulars, Tom, from Oklahoma.  Very tough day.  Had a few strikes but that was it!

Thursday, Dana took Erik and Everett out.  They found a few fish on the tan scud and cream mop fly.  Carolyn had Richard, from Texas out for the morning.  Tom is mainly a salt water fisher.  He enjoyed

Richard – 8/15/24

catching trout for a change.  Had a descent day on the black copperhead and Ruby 2 midges.

Jim out with Ed and Lori Friday.  They caught a few fish on the JQ streamer.

Saturday, Jim had another one of his regular, regulars, Scott on the water.  Pretty good day for them stripping a size 12 sculpin.

Carolyn had Tabby on the water Sunday.  Started out really slow.  Three fish

Tabby – 8/18/24

landed.  However, one of them was a nice 18″ plus rainbow.  Decided to find another place to try and finished up with a good day on the water.  Ruby 2 midge was the ticket!

Just a reminder!  With the oxygen so low, remember to take just a little longer releasing your fish.  They fight really hard even though they are not getting enough oxygen (wouldn’t you?) but they can be worn out when you finally get them in.  Just take a few more minutes, make sure they are breathing good and staying upright before releasing them.  They will grow up and be bigger next year!!!

Yesterday was gorgeous!  Overcast with temperatures in the 70s.  Did get into the low 80s during the afternoon, but very comfortable.  Had some rain today, but it is in the low 70s right now and might see low 80s by this afternoon.  The rest of the week and into Saturday, we are looking at low 90s.  Sunday and Monday, upper 80s.

Very little water over the weekend.  One unit on for an hour one day and on for two hours the next day.  Yesterday, it was off until 2:00 p.m.  Projecting for today was two units coming on at noon.  Think that is the same for tomorrow.  Lots of wading time during the morning hours.

Gary on the water last Wednesday with Tony and Justin.  First time for these guys so it was instructional as well as trying to catch a few fish.  They caught a few on the peach egg.

Carolyn had Hunter from Ohio on the river Thursday.  Fun day catching on a black midge and the Oregon cheese Eggstasy pattern.  Pull a JQ and caught a couple on that.

Saturday, Dana took Ryan and his seven year old son out for half a day.  Brand new fishers.  Black copperhead midge was their ticket.

Peter – 8/12/24

Peter and Jan fished with Carolyn Monday.  Good day for them on the black copperhead midge under the ruby 2.  Started Jan out with the Oregon cheese Eggstasy and she caught a few on that, but Peter and the black midge was getting hits 3-1 over her pattern, so it wasn’t long and she also fished the black copperhead midge.  Fun day!  We were celebrating their five-year anniversary!  HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AND MANY MORE!!!

Beautiful weather right now.  And, it looks like more to come.   High today in the mid 80s.  Upper 80s Thursday and through the weekend it will be in the low 80s!!  Next week will start off with mid 80s Monday then creep into the mid 90s by the end of the week.

We continue to see water off during the morning hours for the week days.  The weekend had water off most of the day.  Still experiencing low dissolved oxygen in the morning hours.  Improves as the morning goes on.  When the generators start, it drops back again and is pretty good for a few hours after they shut down the generators.

Darren and Dana had a group of six waders on the water last Tuesday.  It was one of those tough days.  They fish they caught were on a crackleback on the b-bug.

Friday, Gary took Jack out for a morning wade trip.  Good day stripping an olive wooly bugger or nymphing the peach egg.

Dana had Caleb and Ryan from Kansas on the water Saturday.  Pretty good day on the white grub.

Monday, Jim had Lyndol and Aaron out for half a day.  They were pulling streamers and managed to catch a few fish.  Richard from Texas, was on the water with Dana.  He caught a few on a pink egg pattern.  This was Richard’s birthday.  Happy Birthday Richard!!

Today, Wednesday, Gary took Tony and Justin on an instructional/wade trip.  Not a lot of fish, but they did land some on the peach egg pattern and learned a lot.   Scott and his son, Lane fished with Dana.

Marilyn – 8/7/24

They were catching on a tan scud.  Carolyn’s couple, Ken and Marilyn from Oklahoma, had a good day on an egg pattern under the Ruby 2.  Caught a few on the Ruby 2 but most were on the egg.  Really fun day!

Ken – 8/7/24

Days are starting to get hot again and with the humidity, it can be miserable!  Forecast is showing 100 degrees for Wednesday.

This weekend we had a low one unit on in the late afternoon for a couple hours.  Today we will see no generation until around 3:00 when they will open up two generators and run for several hours.  Tomorrow will be no generation until noon, then two units for an hour and up to four for 8-9 more hours.

Carolyn on the water with Chris from Texas last Monday.  Fun day with the black copperhead or Ruby 2 midge under a pink Eggstasy.

Nic – 7/22/24

Dana had Nic & Dan from North Carolina out for half a day.  They had a great day stripping an olive wooly bugger.

Dan – 7/22/24

Tuesday, two sisters, Denise and Sherrie, from Arkansas fished with Carolyn.  Fun day catching on the Ruby 2 and Black copperhead midges.

Dana had a wade trip Thursday with Cody, Jackson and Collin from Idaho.  They did well on the holographic green crackleback and olive wooly bugger.

Friday, Ken, from Florida fished with Dana.  Tough day for Ken.

Frank – 7/27/24

Saturday, Mark and Frank fished with Carolyn.  First run resulted in a double (both hooked and landed a fish at the same time).  Then we had to work for them.  Did catch more on the black copperhead, Ruby 2 and P&P midges.

Mark – 7/27/24

Fun day with these guys.  Dana had Mike and Steve on the water.  Caught some on the olive wooly bugger and holographic green crackleback.

Love these days in the 80s.  Looks like they will continue through the weekend.  Monday on is showing low 90s.  Some slight chances for rain starting Friday.

We continue to see no generation during the morning hours.  On anywhere from noon to 2:00 p.m.

Carolyn on the water Monday with Chris from Texas.  Good day for him on the black copperhead and

Dan – 7/22/24

Ruby 2 midges under a pink Eggstasy.  Nic and his father, Dan where on the water with Dana.  Good day for these guys stripping the olive wooly bugger.

Nic – 7/22/24

Tuesday, Denise and her sister Sherrie fished with Carolyn  Fun ladies catching fish on the black copperhead midge early then switched off to the Ruby 2 midge.

Definitely having cooler weather than we normally have this time of the year.  Temperatures have been in the low to mid 80s the past several days.   Several days we have had some rain.  Light showers this morning and the high should hit 80.  All of this week looks like mid to upper 80s!

Still leaving the generators off during the morning hours then a few on for four to five hours in the afternoon.

Dana on the water last Thursday with David from Ohio.  Good day on the red d-rib midge.

Friday, Dana took out Rickey from Texas.  They caught some fish on the olive wooly bugger and an orange egg pattern.

Lilah – 7/20/24

Carolyn had Travis and his daughter, Lilah on the water Saturday.  This was Lilah’s first time with a fly rod and she did great.  Picked up casting quickly and when we finally got into some fish, she did a great job of playing and bringing in the fish.  Black copperhead midge under a pink Eggstacy

Wow!  Did we get a ton of rain last night.  Taneycomo looks like they are running generators, but it is just the runoff from all the rain we got.

Generation continues to be off during the morning hours until noon or 1:00 p.m.  This may change with all the rain we just got.  Once noticeable thing over the past month has been how the fishing has not been very good until later in the morning….10:00 a.m. and on.  This is probably the result of the dissolved oxygen levels.  If you check these readings, they are in the 3.00 ppm range early (6:00 a.m.) and as the morning progresses, it will climb up into the 4.00 ppm, 5.00 ppm, etc.  Usually when it hits 4.00 ppm, fishing starts up and as it climbs, fishing just gets better.  Bad news is that about the time it really starts getting good, it’s time for the generators and there goes the wade fishing!

Dustin – 7/8/24

Dana on the water last Tuesday with Don and Dustin.  Slow morning, but they did land some on the P&P, black copperhead midge, under an orange egg.

Last Wednesday and Thursday, Gina had Mary and Rick from Kansas City on the water.  They had a worked hard but had a couple good days on the Ruby 2, Tiger Tail and an olive wooly bugger.  Like I mentioned, earlier, as it got closer to time for the generators to come on, fishing picked up.

Friday, Michael and Chase fished with Dana.  Pink egg pattern was their saver of the day.

John – 7/12/24

Carolyn had John and his friend Adonis, on the water,  This was the first time for Adonis with a fly rod, so they worked on casting a little.  Best patterns were a black copperhead midge under a pink Eggstasy.

Adonis – 7/12/24

Saturday, Dana had Todd from Texas on the water  Another tough day but they caught on the olive wooly bugger.
