Fishing report for the late August trout bite. The bite is good.
How good you ask? Well, pretty good.
Trico fishing may have arrived. The fish are getting on these little fellers in the mornings. Those you must match the hatch choose little flies with little success. Those who choose to catch those finicky trout are using sunken trico’s, soft hackles in black, zebra’s dropped off of a dry fly partner, Buzzballs, Adams, Griffith’s Gnats, spent caddis, rusty spinners and the like.
Hopper fishing has arrived as well. Choose your color, your floating style, and your drift and hang on. Good numbers of actual hoppers on the actula water. All sizes and colors. Yes, dead and dying. How about Burk’s Spent, Rainy’s Grand, Morrish, Western Lady, the Mongo…
Nymphing at the dam is white hot. Try sight nymphing, dry fly angling, and streamer fishing up top too.
Some boats down low, some in the canyon, and not many folks around for the quality of fishing. Quite something when you can have entire miles to your selves during so very strong angling for August. That is what is so great about the Mo, it is one big SOB.
