Fishing last week was hot. We caught a lot of trout many in the 20's. This week is much slower. Numbers are down for fish, however we are still catching them. Water temps is down to 39 degrees this morning. I'm sure the lower temperature has been making the fish more lethargic. The water has been slightly off color as well. Catch's have been happening later in the day from normal hours. It's when the water temperature goes up a couple of degrees that we have been more successful. Egg patterns soft hackles have been working. The March browns are starting to come off and they have been the biggest producer of fish. Here are a few pictures of trout today.

Fishing has been on fire. Caught several in the 20's. The hit fly has been one that I tied up many year's ago. I didn't know what to call it, so I called it KB softhackle. It's my version of a March Brown softhackle and it's on fire. Very easy...

It's my version of a March Brown softhackle and it's on fire. Very easy to fish. Cast it about 45 to 55 degrees down stream and let it swing into the fish. Takes will be hard and fast but you have to set the hook before they spit it out.
