The Big Wood River will fish very good in the month of March. As the temperatures warm up expect very good midge fishing. You will want dries and nymphs for this time of year. Pattern size will be critical and I like very small flies for this time of year. My favorite dries are Trailing Shuck Midges and griffith's Gnats…

I expect the Big Wood to fish better in February as temperatures rise on some days. It will still be weather dependent but on those days when temperatures are above freezing the fishing can be good. Expect to see midges especially on cloudy overcast days and you will want various stages of this bug. I like to carry surface patterns…

The fishing this time of year can be good depending on the day. With temperatures above freezing on some days I like to fish in the middle of the day.

One of my favorites…

The Big Lost below the dam has been the most consistent of all our fisheries. There are still BWO's in sizes 18-24 and on the right day which is usually clouds you can see some very good dry fly fishing. I like Hackle Stackers and Gulpher Specials on top and a Harrop CDC emerger for those fish feeding on the…

The Big Wood River has started to slow down. There are still some hatches of BWO's on certain days so carry a selection of small patterns in sizes 18-22. I also like midge patterns for this time of year and always carry the Trailing Shuck Midge in a size 20-22. I like brassies under a dry fly and find the…

"I make the first casts to the tail end, less in anticipation of raising a fish than in raising the pleasure of anticipation." – Ted Leeson As we move into August, a good strategy for angling success is to fish near to far, shallow to deep. Be stealthy. Fish more like a heron, less like a water buffalo. Expect a…

"A river is only itself. If forced, the water will mirror the likeness of an ego; on its own, it reflects only sky and clouds, and readily rewards those who approach it with humility and wonder." – Ted Leeson This is a good week to add your reflection to the river. Silver Creek While the fishing on the Creek is…
