Yep, the “prayer” worked–we picked up about 0.5″ (a lot for us in a 24 hour period). I was noticing the weather pattern for your neck of the woods, and it looks wet again/still. Water levels for us are good. All are rivers are pretty much spring-fed and don’t fluctuate too much once the snowmelt has disappeared. It takes a couple of incredibly dry years before we start seeing low flows, but I’ve never seen our rivers so low or warm to impact the fish (much–a couple of years ago after several years of drought I was catching thinner fish).

And yep again, all the cutts were caught on a dry. In fact, 98% of the fish I talk about or photograph on my website are caught on dries. OK, 98% is a guess, it’s probably a little closer to 99.27%! The major attraction for me to fly fishing is the take, so I stick with dries. A handful of patterns, eager cutthroat, and that’s about all I need.

Any time you want to catch the cutts, come on over this direction and I’ll guarantee a few cutthroat for you.

I’ve never caught a cuttie – sure would like to! Are these all caught on dry flies?

How’s are the water levels these days? Sure hope the “prayer” has helped!

Tight Lines…
