Our Report
BEST TECHNIQUES:
Stripping leech patterns, calibaetis nymphs, scuds, and dead-drifting chironomids and sow bugs.
OUR TIPS OF THE WEEK:
1. Try an adams or calibaetis pattern, sz 16
2. Anywhere you can put a fly will work. We like sight-fishing in 1′-3′ of water
3. The best time of the day to fish is early morning and late evening.
7 DAY OUTLOOK:
Fishing will be good through the fall until ice-on. The wind will pick up mid-day but calm down in the evenings.
Our Philipsburg location, Flint Creek Outdoors, is open 7 days a week, 7:30a-5p. Stop in and talk to Josh for up-to-date information.
