Current Conditions:
August 26
Like all our hatches in 2010, the White Flies have been difficult to predict on a daily basis. They started early by several days and although there are still some bugs around, they are fading. There will likely be a few left for a few more evenings and it is still possible to hit a good emergence and spinner event but it is not likely.
Cooler days and nights have lowered river temps and trout are more active now. Nymphs like the Copper John, Pheasant Tail, Hare's Ear trailing behind small streamers like a Trick or Treat are producing fish. Hoppers. ants and olives are the best day time dry flies.
Overcast conditions combined with these cooler temps should start to produce larger trout on bigger streamers soon.
NOTE - We are having a 25% off sale on all fly rods in inventory. Call for specifics. 
A great fish on Mother's Day, caught on a wool-head sculpin.
The "Ditch Pig" is a new streamer that we used with great success late last year. It is about 7 inches long but extremely light and easy to cast and fish. This is a three section articulated fly with hooks in only the first two sections. The slithery action is fantastic! We are expecting a shipment in early April. Call to grab a few before they sell out. The pattern will be available later in the season at other shops that work with Pacific Fly Group. The Ditch Pigs are now in stock. Price is $4.95
