Topic: Fishing Reports|Made it out for 4 hours this AM within Fish Creek. Outside temp. started in the mid digits and rose to 14. Visibility has remained stable at this spot at 2-3′ and levels have risen about 6″ or so within the last few weeks. As soon as cloud cover left, the wind picked up-but not bad enough to stop the fishing. There was a tiny midge hatch around 7:45, not prolific, around size 18/20. Later on, about 9:30 or so, BWOs came off sporadically at size 16/18. Forgot both the sieve and the water thermometer in the car. Flipped some rocks and saw some decent size caddis like yesterday (~14), but no large numbers. Hooked into two brown brutes, one took a size 14 ice caddis, and the other a size 16 black flashback midge. Also hooked into a rainbow, but he shook me off before I could see what he took. Unfortunately, I ran out of smaller stuff or I think the numbers would have been better.
Tip of the day: Try sizing down if you’re showing the fish the hatch but not having any takes.
