Pine Creek Lake Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Pine Creek Lake
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.

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 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.

Winter time is coming here and it will not be long. They have taken the stop logs out to drop the river down. That's good news because it will not be long before the big girls will be moving up river to spawn. I do love big fish. Now gang you have to think small when it comes to flies. It's the only thing moving in the river this time of year is small flies. We have been picking them up on size 20 zebra midge and size 18 soft hackle flies.
