FISHING REPORTS

MARCH 12, 2024

Although this is our first "official" stream report of the year, the 2024 season is well underway already offering good windows of fishing to take advantage of thanks to a relatively mild, overall winter. March thus far has followed suit to our mild winter with air temperatures consistently warmer than average, and there are signs of spring showing up early this year.

2024 has brought us consistent precipitation as significant rainfall has also been the norm over the last two months. At the present moment the ground is saturated, and all of our creeks and rivers are full of water with levels that are higher than average for this time of year. It's great to have so much water around for fishing conditions at the present moment, and this extra precipitation will pay dividends come spring as well.

The current weather forecast is calling for daytime high temperatures this week to be in the 60's with nighttime temperatures only dropping into the 40's. Thursday and Friday are calling for chances of showers, but otherwise anglers can expect partly cloudy skies. This mild forecast between now and the beginning of next week should offer some great early spring fishing.

As you would expect for early March, nymphing and stripping streamers are consistently catching fish. Attractor style beadhead nymphs, larger stonefly nymphs, eggs, and worms are all catching fish when rigged to be fished near the bottom. We have already started seeing a few bugs such as Winter Stoneflies, Midges, and Blue Winged Olives (BWO's). With the days continuing to get longer and warmer it won't be long until we see a few fish eating on the surface in the afternoons.
