Trico Teaser 07/23/2011

The next time you’re at Silver Creek in the morning hold your hand up to the sun and you will see the silhouetted clouds of bugs that are swarming the air. Are the fish on these clouds of insects? – Like mayo on a bologna sandwich. Now I’m just hungry and can’t wait to get back down there.

It’s a real buffet for the trout as well. The colder mornings are bringing trico duns early – trico and baetis spinner falls next – callibaetis and some pmd’s following that – right into damsels and a big callibaetis spinner fall in the ponds and slower sections. A lot to think about during a complete day on one of the best spring creeks in the world! I’m going to make a sandwich, but more footage to come.

Silver Creek Update 6/30/2011

If you were down there today, I hope you are recovering from the intense winds that showed up. As the saying goes – when life gives you lemons just don’t squirt it in your eyes – or something like that, I’m still a little loopy from the wind myself. The chop on the water does allow you to throw those big, ugly terrestrials and strip the flashy stuff through the deep troughs. The other bonus – everyone boogied out of there early. I’ve been seeing more and more callibaetis and should be a strong player in the weeks to come. See Dave and the boys in the shop for all info, flies, and gear for the summer. See you down there tomorrow.
