Fish were rising in the afternoon and took March Brown and Hendrickson Duns. Clouds of caddis came off with few fish eating them. Towards dark, trout keyed in on spent spinners and a rusty spinner worked well
Fish were rising in the afternoon and holding tight to feeding lanes. Most seemed keyed in on emergers, but would take a big March Brown when they floated by.
Caddis imitations, parachute hendricksons, hendrickson nymphs, and an assortment of other nymphs are catching fish. March Browns coming soon!
Water levels are still running a little high and visibility has improved greatly. Much of Pine was restocked this week, including the Keystone Select stretch from Darling Run.
Big hatches of caddis came off along with some hendricksons. Water temp was 58-59 in Rexford.
