One-Week Fishing Forecast
Will be in the lower 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday with a slight chance of thunder storms. Gets into the low 90s through the rest of the week.
Hot Fly Patterns
Soft hackle Ray Charles have been doing well in gray and pink size 16 – 18. Try the sowbug patterns in a soft hackle too in similar colors and sizes. Worm patterns are still strong, in the wire variation as well as the San Juans. Use sizes 4 to 8 in red, orange. Don’t forget your split shot, you’ll need it. 2 or 3 BBs or a single 3/0 should suffice.

Fishing the best!
Meals were quality and quantity. Fishing was the best ever at any lodge. Hosts were very warm and friendly with excellent sense of humor. Lodge was top notch! Brian R. Commack, NY. 7/10/10
