Have heard a few comments recently about all the photos on our site - "Are there any rainbows in that stream?" While this has been a great year for some very, very, very big browns, those elusive slab rainbows are still around! While the photo opportunity for a 2-foot plus brown is too good to pass and to post, there…

The best way to contend with the smoky, hot days of August is to wet a line in one of our local fisheries. The fish don't mind the intermittent smoke, and some anglers believe the obscured sun actually improves the dry fly fishing. To date, the August fishing has been true to form with the best fishing coming early and…

photo by Bryan Huskey The last week of July promises to be a great week of fishing, but to assure success, anglers should be prepared for change. In our local freestones, the flows continue to drop to more wadable levels opening up more water to explore and spread the fishing pressure. Keep in mind that as the levels change, the…

The Silver Creek Browns have been delivering continuously over the past few weeks, with both size and numbers. From the deeper troughs to the undercut banks to sipping dries in the shallow flats, the fishing could not be better.
