Our fishery is undergoing a final transition from winter, with the big spring bugs and baitfish in the rivers and lakes, respectively, starting to move. 2023 has seen more fish in the net over 20" than I can recall, with a few days providing multiple fish over 2 feet. Our approach has been almost exclusively streamer fishing - the dry fly game is yet to pop - which is completely fine with me. A lot of fish have come in on spectacular displays of aggression while fishing flies in the 6-9" range. Still, some nice fish and one taping at 26" have been tricked by some of the smaller articulated streamers with which most streamer anglers are familiar.
We're approaching the time of year when sight fishing to risers makes up an increasing percentage of our time on the water; winter is about 80/20 streamers/dries, while the other seasons are ~60/40 - some days more, some less. The dynamic of stopping to fish dries then picking up the streamer rod when the anchor is pulled is a great way to change up the pace, expose anglers to different types of fishing, and show off the river.
April is already looking to have an awesome start, with fish keying in on the big caddis that are just beginning to move around. Lake temps are hovering in the 54-57° degree range, while the river at its mouth is reading 52°. As that variance shifts due to warming lake temps, please hold onto your rod!
