Not our first pick for a hot place to fish but you can
still do O.K. The DFG has been stocking fish down
near Browns campground and that's your best bet for
catching rainbows. Above Benton Crossing the
fishing has been spotty so be sure to cover lots of
water to find fish.

The flows have dropped and nymphing is great right now.
Don't expect too much dry fly action until we get into lower
summer flows but the fish are eating subsurface big time.
Make sure to fish along the banks and target any soft water
you see. The weeds aren't bad yet so nymphing is pretty
straight forward, just make sure you get your flies near the
bottom and get a good drift.      "DS"

The flows are dropping but the river is still cranking pretty
well. Look for the fishing to really get going in the next
week or two. With that said, you can still pick up some fish
along the soft edges, especially in the evenings. The best
fishing has been down around the campgrounds and by
Rainbow Falls.. "DS"

The Ranch is fishing great, some big fish eating
streamers right now and nymphing is always effective.
The ranch hosted Mike Pawlawski and his show Familiar
Waters and it went well. Should air in Feb.
The Leland Fly Fishing Outfitters Pro Staff also did
some filming and had an epic day on the Ranch, What a
great bunch of guys. If you are interested in a shop with
great information and some great teaching videos online
check these guys out. One special part about the ranch
is the camping, No fire restrictions (Private Land) and no
crowds. You will not be disappointed waking up there.

Lets start this report talking about Bridgeport Reservoir. Its
looking good and full coming in to August , The flows have
been good as well. This means we shouldn't have temp
problems this year. Don't let flow changes discourage you the
fish are quite use to it. A lot has been going on lately, We
filmed an episode of Familiar Waters with host Mike Pawlawski
on the Sceirine Ranch that should air in Feb sometime. Our
friend Brad McFall did a great job guiding him and I think
everyone will enjoy it. A few days ago I guided Samantha Virk ,
Bass Pro Shop Staff Hunter and Guide. It was a great day and
she is a true sportswomen. As far as the fishing we are in
between bugs right now so it requires a lot of bug changes to
stay on the fish. Drew and I have had some great trips with
awesome people the last few weeks, Quite often when you
look down stream our folks are the ones with bent rods and
thats not by accident. Drew and I are on the river more than
anyone so if you have a tough time let us get you in the game
and shorten your learning curve

The flows have dropped quite a bit recently and the
river should be fishing well. We haven't had a chance to
get down there lately but you can usually do pretty good
at this time of year. We'll have a more complete report
next time.                                                 "DS"
