Simon Stephen brings us this report. Simon was employed at The Caddis Fly this summertime and goes out on foot a couple of times a week. You will discover him at the store Friday and Saturdays.
Streams above Hills Creek are high however not burnt out. The majority of the fish were captured on little jigged nymphs. I did especially great on the Jigged Sassi solution Little Perdigons made it simple to get deep quick and I likewise discovered running a bigger stonefly nymph as my trailer nymph to be efficient. I had some fish increase to an October caddis pattern, and landed a good resident ruthless on one. A medium sized Stimulator is a great bet as an all around dry today. I likewise got fish on a 16 Purple Haze routed off The back of an October caddis. A BWO Parachute or emerger is a great call this time of year too.
I fished the Middle Fork listed below Hills Creek and Salmon creek briefly. There were indications on the bank that the river was burnt out in previous days. The water is high, however no longer burnt out. Fish were keeping in softer water, deep swimming pools, and up versus the banks. Banner fishing was efficient with the high water; I was utilizing the cone head Thin Mint and succeeded removing it through the soft water where I might discover it.
I saw extremely couple of bugs hatching. Some remaining October caddis were out, and there was a really sporadic. A BWO hatch beginning around 1:30 -2 pm. The chillier weather condition appears to be decreasing the fall hatches.
Have not fished the McKenzie in the recently approximately, however I make sure it’s fishing comparable to the Middle Fork of the Willamette.
