Change is inevitable; from the weather, day to day activities, life and most importantly fishing!! The true test of any angler is their ability to change with the conditions presented to them. If fishing is challenging, change flies and change your presentation. Be creative!! As we are approaching the end of the summer hatches become smaller and with warmer temperatures hatches are best later in the day or early in the morning.

The weather this week was in the high 80’s with a small reprieve of rain and cooler temperatures by the end of the week. Stream flows this week were 1,200cfs at Kirby, 1,310cfs at Cameron at the beginning of the week and a slight uptick by the end of the week to help combat rising water temperatures with flows sitting at 1,310cfs at Kirby, 1,460cfs at Cameron by Sunday.

Hoppers and Ants have made there way to water, the most productive action has been seen between McAtee and Ennis. Streamers and nymphing have been producing some very nice larger fish and lots of big smiles!
